"hey Don. Are you from the Tampa Bay area? I actually like the Delta wing. I really don't care for the way it looks but I think it's too important to ignore. The technical aspects of racing, costs and safety issues. I too like the idea of…"

I'm still not sure on the Delta Wing. I like the program and what it represents: Open source manufacturing, competing engine builders, cost competitive for all, built in the USA. I just can't quite get my head around the look of it. I am a purist when it comes to "open wheel" being defined as without fenders or cowlings. The wings, while they produce drag, also create needed downforce to keep the car from going airborne at speeds exceeding the takeoff velocity of a Boeing 777. As far as safety goes, open wheel racing, both Indy Car and F1 has far fewer crashes than N-Word racing. I have just this season tried (with little to no success) to watch some of the Danica hyperventilation. I just can't believe they have a massive crash every two laps.

As far as tracks go, I agree with you on Milwaukee and Phoenix on the ovals. I get insanely bored watching the cookie cutter "mini super" tracks and the short ovals. Cleveland is a great venue for spectators as you can see the whole track. It's a little disorienting at first seeing the cars going seemingly in all directions at once. The trouble with street courses and airports is that they tend to be rough and that tears up halfshafts. Road America is a great course, and I always enjoyed seeing the CART races in Portland. I have been on the new Barber website and I'm really impressed with that course.

Looking forward to a fun year. This off season has me jonesing bad for proper racing.
