Tru Dat FA!

This American will be watching the Indy 500. The National Association of Senior Citizen Auto Racing (NASCAR) races cars with all the sophistication of a 1050's pickup truck. Push rods, carbs, solid axles. Wow!

I love Indy as well. Just think how great the race would be if the rules makers would allow the present engine/chassis configuration to be turbocharged? It would require real driver skill like in the days when tires were not very good. Now, rules makers try to write the rules to minimize the risk of major injury and regulate the power of the engine and the chassis dynamics to make the tires work with a minimum of problems. F1 racing is different in that the tires are not sticky and the power available over most of the race course is excessive. This requires a fair amout of driver skill. I like that but IRL is good too. Just think, I believe the fastest Indy qualifiers were at least 15 years ago.
