Speed
This weekend of the second weekend of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500. The new qualifying format this year is exciting. Holy Coast made mention yesterday that there is some sort of NASCAR event this weeked as well. I have found NASCAR useful for those times when things get a little dull at the IMS.
NASCAR really isn't too bad if you don't mind using a calendar to time them going around the track, given that they go the same speeds the Indy cars went the first time I went to the track in 1969! Rick says this weekend's tank on wheels event is unique

This is a non-points race, which means it's all about the money - $1 million to the winner - and the bragging rights. The drivers are basically told by their teams to either win the race or don't bring the car back.In other words it is little more than a high speed demolition derby. Genuine racing takes skill, teamwork, and superior engineering. Any numbskull can wreck a car.
