For those of you who get Speedtv, Tony George, Kevin Kalkoven, Mario Andretti, Jacques Villenuve, and Robin Miller will be guests on the show "Wind Tunnel."  Wouldn't miss this for anything.

I know there aren't many Indy Simv'ers, but I'm working on changing that!

All that matters to me is the green flag dropping in march. I'm trying to fill my racing fix with Nascar right now but its tough. I dont know if its the reduced speed or the fact that theres less danger involved but it's just not the same.
Still not sure that champcar teams racing in the IRL this year is a good idea. Some guys are going to be out there with little to no oval experience in cars they've only driven a few laps in testing. Maybe having the champ guys just participate in the road races and their series road races that plan on staying. (long beach and edmonton I believe) Then have the champ guys run tests throughout the season and perhaps have them participate in the later races.
The thought of poor old Danica having even more people to yell at and blame for her own uselessness scares me
Gonna be Wheldon's year I think. Last year was an anomaly.

Nothing hard to oval racing, if you're not sure just GET OUTTADAWAY!  lol j/k, some Milka anger coming out.  I sure hope Danica can get one, I really want to believe she is all she is cracked up to be.

Oh, and I forgot to mention:  I've stared a campaign to destroy NASCAR just like Indy was destroyed.  I've begun to post controversial, but not crazy ideas in the speedtv NASCAR forums.  Create anger and spite, just like how Indycar has been for the last 13 years.  Soon enough, I'll propose a split series.

Heres an example of one thing I wrote:  "I think Toyota is a great addition to the sport, and should do everything they can to give GM, Ford, and Dodge a run for their money. Honda should also consider entering, as should Mazda and Nissan, maybe Hyundai? The Koreans are vastly underrepresented in NASCAR."

From the inside out NASCAR will die

I think Mazda in Nascar would be cool. Their wankle rotary engine is incredible in its operation, the only question would be which car would they enter. I guess it would have to be the mazda6, but I think technically the RX8 would qualify.

As for Danica, if she learns to shut up and just get on with it and actually makes racing friends with other drivers from other teams she'll have an easier time of it. Unfortunatly for her the only guys right now who will help her are Marco and TK, and Marco's not the best on ovals, and poor old tony's left alone really. He's then left to chose between help danica the team mate or his good friend Dan Wheldon. Her best chance this time round is the Indy 500. As we saw with Marco you dont need to be good on ovals to do well.
