    race about to start.

    I've always loved this race, a great street race in a great town.

    let's go racing boys and girls!

    These restarts have very great potential for wiping out the entire field, or getting somebody kilt.

    yeah, still not a fan of the double-file restarts.

    makes for an exciting race, though.

    this has been a comically bad day for Team Penske.

    yet another restart demolition derby :rolleyes:

    I don't recall EVER seeing the run-off area between T1 and T3 used because of a track-blocking incident at Toronto before. yikes! :)

    I was seriously afraid that Tagliani had his head taken off. Good protection.

    not sure what to think about this race....

    exciting, yes.

    good racing? probably not.

    sad to see Graham have a good finish go away late.

    seems like a lot of people don't like CGR right now...they definitely have a target on their backs. so to speak ;)

    I wish I could see these races--in order to get Versus, I'd have to upgrade 2 or 3 levels on U-Verse. And that channel definitely isn't worth it.

    Fantastic race....Mr Power had a lot to say about Dario after the race but thats racing...I'm sure Power would not have minded winning the series with the extra points from the Texas Lottery bull****, so this evens that up nicely.

    Congrats to Dario on a great win :)

    That was certainly one of the worst races I have ever seen!!!
    The pace cars leading more laps than anybody else is a joke. You do not see this garbage in Monaco.
    I blame the race officials for it. No boneheaded move got penalized!! That sends a bad message. There is no consistency. Last year they penalized Helio for blocking in a track as wide as a football field, but they left many stupid moves go today.
    Even the drivers admitted guild!!
    This series is becoming a joke!!

    PT is saying that Ropin Randy was sitting next to the CEO of target who got really pissed when he heard Dario was getting a drive through penalty. Randy made it go away, and the sponsers were happy.

    Great racing, indeed. The earl sucks.

    I can confirm some of the facts, not all, behind PT's statement. Sounds likely.

    if that's true, then IRL is now CART circa 1996.

    who's going to overthrow the IRL?

    PT is now saying that his accounts were hacked and that he never made those statements.


    May I ask which of the facts you can confirm and how?
