  • What a great drive by Doornbos. I thought the team would be down after the results after winning the first one but 3rd on the grid and a drive to the win from the back is fantastic.
  • His test results?

  • What a great race.
  • Like driver small. 5'9'' 140. M will work, girly is out though unless that street party gets more out of hand than I anticipate.

  • Still small (Thank God!)

  • No go to Long Beach but am going to Portland in June and hopefully Road America as well. Good or bad, I think Speedy Dan is going to make something happen this weekend.
  • I wish it was Philippe but I'll gladly take Speedy Dan.
  • Well from someone from a place of temperature extremes with long winters I can tell you it's getting warmer here. Cold stretches aren't as long and there are extended mid-winter stretches of higher than normal temps of seemingly up to a month. 75F t…

  • What Clown said. This offseason HAS been a disappointment after the carefully constructed sense of optimism and progress fostered over the past year or two. The series is no longer (supposedly) providing subsidies to the teams and there is fallout…
  • Oh boy is this grreat!

  • Nothing in Fisichella's past points to anything other than the '2' slot. It just ain't in him to be a champion.
  • I'm sure Beckham's contract is at it's heart a 'league' contract and the LA Galaxy aren't going to be paying him solely but I have my doubts about the entire league having 50MM in revenues per year.
    in Beckham Comment by dst January 2007
  • Beckham is to make $50,000,000 per year?! For 32 games for a League where no one averages more than 25,000 per game in attendance...............big risk.

  • 20000 troops ain't gonna do shit, except clear some neighborhoods, which the insugents will have left since, move along, at which time the insurgents will return. If a bunch get killed they will be replaced. Bogus motives aside, the time for more tr…

  • Wow that sure seemed worthwhile, didn't it? A satisfying end to a well thought out and expertly executed strategy formulated by people of the highest caliber.

  • Pretty brown and 40 to 50F here. Got just enough snow to cover the ground for Christmas. Sad to say that's nothing unusual anymore, severe winters seem to be more the exception now.

  • Say it loud!
  • They should keep at least one of the existing guys, Philippe has gone from wanker to winner and they might be hard pressed to keep him. Clarke is fast, young and dumb. That can be reined in but the natural speed can't be taught and with a year and …
  • Originally posted by spark DST have you seen the top 10 sports in the USA based on TV viewers published by SI? Just confirms what I said- 1. NFL 2. MLB 3. NBA 4. Nascar 5. NHL 6. NCAA Football 7. NCAA Basketball 8. IRL 9. WNBA 10.USPGA Golf See CCW…
  • Originally posted by Neil_s I do not really share your excitement there, sorry to tell you... I don't want to spoil your party but I am not excited by this news at all. Nobody here watches this car series and all is focused on F1... thelogo makes m…
  • NO spark I don't agree. Without well attended events you cannot have successful events and without that there will be nothing to watch on TV. I haven't been to one IRL event - it's a sham series that places success in one event over and above it's o…
  • Why is it behind IRL? Forgot to address this - The Indy 500, which will and has existed with or without the IRL. Without getting too deep into split BS, CART/CC has been successful, the IRL never has. If ovals brought more people- I assure you CC …
  • Originally posted by spark dst I stand over what I said. CC is a series which is 3rd in 4 wheel racing in the US. Fact is everything goes to viewing figures and TV time and attendance. Why is it behind IRL - Ovals bring more butts on seats. Althoug…
  • Originally posted by MCSF I don't agree with that RJ. JPM and JV have been the only really successful drivers to come from CART or whatever the hell it goes by. GP2 and F3 are still the premier way to get to F1 - I think in part due to the tracks …
  • Originally posted by spark I agree with you but over here its TV ratings that matter and the truth is when motorsport matters NASCAR is the big one. Have you ever been to a NASCAR event? Fanatical is how I would describe one. If F1 got more mainstre…
  • Originally posted by spark Forzaminardi my friend Jonathan Noble at Autosport is one of the most respected journalists in motorsport. I would have no reason to doubt him in what he says. This morning he sent me an email which without going into det…
  • Originally posted by spark One thing I'm interested to see is what livery the cars will run. Maybe Orange/Black and white for Muermans on one car is a good bet. The other two should be interesting and most probably will be Wiggins job to get the ot…
  • WELCOME TO AMERICA! Ever since the guy sold out I thought CART would be a natural fit for him.
  • I'm sure that many now realise the stupidity of the Iraq war, widows of slain soldiers, their children, parents, brothers and sisters This is almost entirely backwards. These are the people, like the swift boat bleepholes, who have to believe the l…
