What ever happened to the Chevroreys?
Honda is the only serious engine company in the world.
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.
Does the pace car have a Honda engine also?
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?
Ford has every car in Champ Car. So what's your point?
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.
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.
So where do i enter my Accord? Shoot, best seats to this race would be on the track. Varoom.........lol!
And I hear they will all be running on ethanol at Indy next year!
Not to be picky....
But the cars are not Hondas, only the engines are made by Honda. The cars are made by 2 or 3 different manufacturers. I know Dallara is the most common but I forget the names of the others.
We taught them well.
"Sneaky Japanese."
Building the engines that Americans won't...
That's sad.
Who, (no he/she wasn't Japanese!) founded the Indiapolis race 90 years ago?
Anyway, I would like to see Indy be Indy again, and not just another race with Tony George Approved engines, or Tony George approved chassis, or Tony George approved rules or....
It should be open to any and all comers. Here's the basic rules: certain width, height, weight, displacement etc... buy it, build it whatever...
I saw an ad in the paper the day before the track opened that offered a two for one coupon for opening day tickets. I think that's a first.
Uhh..
Try "built a better product Japanese"
Market forces at work. Skill, competence and higher standards pay off.
