Just got back from the racetrack....

IRL Indy 200 at the Kansas Speedway. Those Indy cars are pretty fast, doing over 200 mph. I really enjoyed the race despite the very hot temperatures.

The pace car was an Olds Intrigue. Before the race, they were doing laps in an Intrigue and an Alero. Wish I could take the CLS out there to see what it could do.

Ken, glad you enjoyed the race, but i can't stand the IRL. Minor leaguers, and CART washouts like Al Junior. No road courses and
they discourage better technology. It's backwards. Hell, in their premiere race at Indy the first 6 finishers weren't even in their league. The best any of their guys did was 7th, a lap down. SAD, IMHO.
