    So excited to see race 2 tomorrow. I gave today's tickets to my brother and father who are enjoying the sunshine in Grandstand 3 (just at the end of the long straight).

    OK, I'm confused...

    the original plan was standing start Saturday, rolling start Sunday, yes?

    so now because of the aborted start on Saturday (which resulted in a rolling, single file restart) they are going to try a standing start in today's race?

    also, that penalty on Dario was rescinded? official box score shows him finishing 3rd. (that's cool with me, it was a BS call)

    and Munoz in for Briscoe, as he injured his wrist. hope Munoz can show some talent in the big show.

    Dario has become something of a tool....

    Standing start again today if the drivers can handle it.

    Catching up with pre-race...seems like Dario and Will can at least stand next to each other and not kill each other.

    They pulled off the standing start today. Glad they tried it again.

    I thought yesterday was a great race. I expect today's will be too.

    Nice start, boys. So much better than those raggedy-assed rolling starts. Let's make it permanent on street and road circuits.

    I agree, that was fun to watch and worked well. I'd like to see it more often.

    Yep.

    I really like Matchett's enthusiasm too; hope he does more races. Someone just needs to tell him IndyCar doesn't have a "safety car." :D

    Matchett is a good add to the team. Would like to have him go full time where he is actually on site unlike F1 where they broadcast the race watching a TV in Charlotte just like we are...

    Hilarious...he just commented that F1 has a REGULATION that the trophy can not separate at the base to stop what happened yesterday to Sebastian. HAHAHA....also you must use 11 sheets of paper to wipe your arse :D:D:D:D

    There are on the street courses, but that is common among most series when they race a street course...there have only been three I think...not too bad for a street circuit.

    Just catching up...Carpenter makes 4...

    They need a few more speed shots...they are hitting 177 on the straight but all they have is the camera at the end of the straight...

    177 is no freaking joke on a city street man...

    I'm guessing you missed the first 60 incident free laps? : p

    street circuit + late cautions = wrecks.
