Shouldn't the correct title be "Every car in Indianapolis 500 a Honda"?

Honda is the only serious engine company in the world.

"What ever happened to the Chevroreys?"

Racing provides intangibles. Design experience, advertising exposure, innovation, boosts morale in the division. None of these show up on the quarterly report, so the wise leaders at GM have minimized their effort in favor of bringing you things like this:

I am an avid of flat track Motorcycle racing. Harley davidson ownd the tracks a few uears back. They were the only manufacturer in the running. Then along came Honda.

They started a program to win, they hired the best riders, including Bubba Shobert and Ricky Graham, and before long they were kicking Harley's butt.
Then they must have gotten bored with their winning, they stopped making the engine and parts and now only a few Honda's are left, and I understand they have to make their own parts to keep them in the race.

Harley decided to do what Honda did in the big Formula road races, they got an Engine designed by Porsche and hired great riders, but they never amounted to much in the big leagues of motorcycle road racing. The japanese can do great things when they want to, I hope the American manufacturers decide to spend more and get into the race, Its an atrocity that Honda supplies all of the Engines in a major race like Indy.

Honda is now the sole supplier to the Indy Racing League and as many fans of the 500 arrive early enough to see the sun rise over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The first phrase has nothing to do with the second and I like cats.

Seriously, does this mean that every team in the Indy Racing League has chosen Honda engines because they are technically superior to every other company's engines or did they get an exclusive contract where everyone has to use their engines even if they want to use some other engine?

"We've gone full circle."

Was it Sheila Jackson Lee who famously said she had changed her mind by "doing a 360 on that"?

Going around a circle gets you back to where you started. That's not what he's trying to say. English is a tool. Learn to use it well.

Always enjoyed the time trials better than the race.

Open track practice in the morning before the Time trials and then the trials lasted until 6PM local time.

The race itself is over in less time than a NFL or MLB game.

It's been 12 years since Scott Goodyear squeaked his way into the field in a Honda? Dang.
