thumbs up?

well, on a brighter note, they have put up another Overheard at the Track on champcar.ws and they have also inserted part 2 of my very exlcusive interviews with the broadcast team. Look for part three down the road and also eventually there will be an archival page with all the videos from this year. you know, in case you missed any of them and find yourself with nothing to talk about at the water cooler now that Seinfeld has been off the air for 6 years. But Family Guy is back and that eases our pain. Hey, this is supposed to be about Racing, not television sitcom and their lasting affects on our lives!

The big one. How many times did they say that during the NASCAR race yesterday. The big one is coming. A volcano. The big one. Its coming. brace yourself, its coming. And finally it did...25 (was it?) involved in that wreck. Good god how frustrating must it be to be involved in one of those wrecks. Part of the game, no doubt. but 25 cars!! Fortunately everybody was okay, though if you watched the broadcast there was a moment of discomfort, immediately following the crash when they picked up the radio communication from one of the cars and there was no response from the driver. The announcers were busy talking, so they probably didn't hear the communication, but the crew member kept asking the driver (couldn't tell which driver) to give him a sign of life. Obviously since everybody was okay, the driver eventually did. But we never heard it on the broadcast.
good on jeff Gordon. Man he can drive. If I was broadcasting a show on Jeff Gordon, I would continually show old photos of him, when he had the mustache and mullet. Paul Tracy did some nice stride in becoming more fit and attractive then he used to be, but I don't think anybody had a better makeover then Mr. Gordon. He was truly one, well, interesting looking fellow back then. Oh, and with regards to his appearance on Windtunnel, come on Jeff. Don't play us like that! We're the Champ Car World Series. you know it, Despain knows it, everybody knows it. Fine, i'll give you a quasi-benefit since this company is barely a year old. Nevertheless, let me repeat, its the Champ Car World Series. Evidently, not the same company that turned their backs to you. I swear.

Champ Car baby! Champ Car for life!
