Hi All,

Just watching the Chicagoland race, and there are 5 cars on the lead
lap, does Indy tear their cars apart after the race and figure out why
they are so much faster than the other 20 cars? NASCAR would impound
every damn one of them and have a hard look at their setups.

Sure makes for a boring race that is for sure.

Oh, 4 on the lead lap and 4th place looking like he will fold also;
crap racing I say.

Nail Bitter, What? Those few cars have had most of the field a lap

the same 4 or 5 cars.

I just like to know why they are so much faster. Its not that there a
bit better, they are completly different cars than the other 19 or so
cars.

I just caught the last 40 laps of that, and it didn't strike me as a
nail-biter by any means. I found it to be quite boring, but that's just
my opinion. To each his own.

They're the same cars. Just put together better, tweaked better,
driven and managed better.

Nothing new. The differences through the field have always been
there. When you get a race with long green periods, and it's not a
track with pack drafting, they spread out. The races that have me
wondering are the ones where the field stays bunched.

saw no point in it after a while. I feel that often when people choose a
camp, they lose objectivity. I see EARLs and CHUMPs flame back and forth
pointing out the flaws of the other camp while ignoring the flaws of
their own camp. I'd rather enjoy what I can from each and hope that
things improve in both series, or preferably that they become one with
the best venues and teams from each side (but I won't hold my breath for
that). But the others will do as they may. So be it.

You'll never convince the faithful that 100% throttle racing is boring. This
was the first race I watched start to finish this year without FF'ing and I
gotta say I just don't get it.
