Pretty much a regular
1-2 (+0.25)
so now we head to Avondale, LA for the inaugural race there. All i can find on the test in March is this. Numbers are up at 5d if interested. Obviously we don't have much to go on, but let's recap a little from Barber.
-- raised mugs to Montoya for winning his first street course race in 15 yrs. In my thread last week, i said he could certainly improve in this regard, and i am half ass wondering if he was listening, lol. Penske dominated qualifying with the first four positions and finished 1,2,4 +5. Will this domination continue? Entirely possible is my response at this time. For the history buffs out there, in 1994 Penske's trio of Unser Jr, Fittipaldi + Paul Tracy won 12 of the 16 races and finished 1, 2 + 3 in the points. Some are already saying this is a done deal, but a part of me wonders how all these egos will mesh during the year. And i would like to add that i think Power could screw all this up himself. There is hard racing, and then there is dirty racing. Power will punt anybody into the wall to get a win, and Montoya made a nice recovery to avoid such a fate last Sunday. Mark this down going forward is all i am going to say.
-- if you watched last week, you know that the new aero kits are going to help shatter track records, but the durability is for the birds. Not sure how we are going to handicap this going forward, but the debris flying was insane. A spectator was also injured, so let's hope she makes a full recovery. As also mentioned in that article, Dixon doesn't seem overly concerned, so i shouldn't be either, right? We'll see.
--Dixon got bit by the pit stop demons ( friggin air jack) and am looking for a recovery, but will not bite on the +775
-- Kimball should have let Rahal pass, and i didn't like the penalty assessed to Rahal, thought it was bullshit.
-- Kanaan with a really quiet slid performance to finish 3rd. Does he have a little more to compete with the Penske team?? You can stab at the +3300 and find out, but i'm not.
-- so Simona is back for another race ( surprise, surprise....but they still won't match her up with anyone, you watch) Everyone seems to love her, and i do mean everyone, but i'm not in that camp. Sure it is fair to say she has been with inferior teams, but 3 tops 5's and 14 top 10's in 67 career races is what it is. Best bet on the board is they won't post her.
-- late new today, and it is huge in my opinion....so what exactly in the hell did Chevy do?? Unspecified component change which i want to hear more about.
more in a little bit...
