Wow! ! Where did my life go!
 30yrs to the race ago this raced, my very first race car and only Indy car I helped design during my university work placement year Alfa Romeo March 90C, driven by Al Unser Snr to a 13th placed finish and Roberto Guerrero had a DNF with suspension failure   There have been many since but you always remember your first  I'm rooting for Alonso

The 3 laps that Dixon laid down as time ran out today shows he will be a contender for pole . Andretti cars are fast !

It sure seems like the extra boost given has helped the Hondas more than the Chevys. 1 Chevy in the top 10? We'll see how things shape up today at 1:00.
