Best drivers, best technology, best tracks( except they dont run Road America, thery run that goofy roadcourse at Indy:mad: ).............

BTW.....My main man Micheal Schumacher won today.....AFTER his car caught fire from a fueling stop......:ylsuper

Watch it there, Nismodave! Have you been to the race here? I watched it last year from Mary George's suite. It was truly excellent.

Im not saying its the worst course......but it dosent compare to RA.......

Plus there are not many places to pass (ask the drivers) which makes for a follow the leader type race....

Youre probobly a Montoya fan:rolleyes ........

get a subscription to F1 magazine, its cool stuff. To get into that kind of stuff yo have to an absolute genious. You are competing with people all over the globe to get a job.

You want to get into something like that, aim for CART.
