"It wasn't only the month gap since Milka Duno announced she and SAMAX
Motorsport would enter the IndyCar Series that had the veteran sports car
racer on edge. Travel problems and rain at Kansas Speedway on April 25
postponed her much-anticipated rookie test.

Finally, the team found a window in the overcast skies and Duno passed the
speed-learning test for her Indy Racing League license. IndyCar Series
technical director Kevin Blanch observed the activity on the tri-oval banked
in the corners at 15 degrees.

She will be allowed to compete in the Kansas Lottery Indy 300 this weekend.
Duno and 20 other competitors will participate in the first (split) practice
session beginning at 10 a.m. (EDT) April 28 (watch all practices and
qualifying on indycar.com)."

Why wasn't the press given much access to her and the team during the
test? Why were no times posted? Odds are its just as Robin predicted:
they dialed the car in with a setup to make it super-easy to do some
quick laps so she could pass the test.

I hope nobody gets hurt when she hits the track. The IRL will not easily
wipe the egg off its face and the blood off its hands if something bad
happens.
