Re: ExcuseFest 2009 Robert Lorenzini 01:15:23

The IRL's off-season (the 50 weeks after any Indy 500) is
a good time to ponder the coming season's excuses for
poor performance of the "League." The IRL, after all,
has been delivering everything they said CART wasn't
way back in 1995, so it remains an oddity that none of
the numbers (attendance, TV ratings) that measure
popularity or audience response are even close to
what they were when CART ran the series and was
the primary source of In
dy 500 entries.
ExcuseFest 2009 should be a good one. With the economy
in turmoil, this will be the primary source of apology from
our IRL faithful.
In the past, they blamed CART's continuing existence
as divisive, both to sponsor potential and to audience
interest. That surprised me, because according
to the book of IRL, America was craving an all-oval
open wheel series without hard to pronounce foreign
driver names.
America also reviled street and road course racing,
preferring an Indy 500 and series with roots in the
many dirt tracks throughout the country.
Even with the IRL charter intact and fully operational,
the annual ExcuseFest began. It has had a good run,
with CART's existence probably being #1 for most
of the 12 year run, with the emergence of NASCAR
as a possibly equal threat.
The NASCAR interruption of the IRL's rise to be
better than F-1 etc., is all the more amusing because
Tony introduced a NASCAR race to Indy, which those
of us pre-IRL Indy fans always considered open wheel's
hallowed ground.
Well, CART, OWRS, ChampCar are all history
now - finally bought out by the IRL itself. All
we can count on now (outside of the mega-media
outlet, Versus) are this darn economy,
and NASCAR as the best excuses for another
dismal (compared to 1995 and before) season.
Gentleman, start your excuses!

I laughed when I read that. Total nonsense. My biggest question is
whether she'd be more lost on the track or in the paddock.

This is really pissing me off...

Doesn't Rogers carry Versus? When you think of all the households
Versus is available in... :-\­

IRL's live streaming is a possibility.

I'm fortunate that I do get Versus. It's in a strange digital tier
that I subscribe to because my wife needed Bloomberg TV. It's going
to be nice not worrying about the races being preempted. I remember
one race where the first hour was preempted. That was before IRL
streamed the video, and there's no IMS radio station where I live.
Very frustrating...I followed that hour via live timing. A friend who
was on the road and was within range of IMS Radio would call every now
and then. He'd tell me the latest action, and I'd give him the
rundown.

Looking forward to the season. It's getting a little NASCAR-ish, with
NHL becoming a three car powerhouse and single car teams like
Rahal-Letterman getting squeezed out, but it's still Indy cars.

I got an email, and it's be reported, that IndyCar Magazine is shutting
down. I bought a couple of
issues and thought it was a waste of money, paper, and ink. Hate to say it
but I did not care for it. Sorry for those you liked it tho.

test speeds John McCoy 01:32:03
 I see from Jayski that Greg Biffle reached 218mph going into the
turns at Texas speedway (the original Texas speedway, not the one
at Ft Worth. Texas is a 2 mile oval, sort of like Michigan, only
with significant banking in the corners).

That should be ample evidence that today's Cup car, unrestricted,
would run 235-240mph at Daytona and Talladega, for anyone who still
thinks that the CoT means we might be able to remove the plate.

Daytona 500 entry list John McCoy 17:58:28
 I see from Jayski that no less than 54 cars are entered for the
Daytona 500.

This is almost like the old days. Apparently the disappearance
of the Ganassi Dodge team and the Davis Toyota team, and the
scaleing back at EGR and some other teams, has produced a flood
of cheap used Cup cars on the market, with a consequent explosion
of part-time teams.

Now, if NASCAR would just back off the rules a bit, so that the
part-timers can try to substitute brains for money and find an
edge, we might really be back in the old days, and see the
occasional surprise with a part time team running with the
leaders.

John
