F1 at 265 with all kinds of drivers aids is not as fast as 240 without them.

I can see why they changed the qualifying format for Indy but I was disappointed. Indy is about tradition as well as skill. Having "Carb Day" and knockout qualifying was something many generations endured and I am sorry to see it go.

That said, it will be a great race and with 5 hours and 500 miles, you can win from anywhere. He's a long shot but I am rooting for Helio to take #5. After him, I'd like to see T.K. do it. I'm really impressed with how Johnson did. He gets way too much attention for a driver consistently running in the bottom 10-20% of the field in every race. IMO he is being pumped up by the announcers because it is great press for Indy as they try to lure Crashcar fans to watch this series.

Hopefully Grosjean won't bump people of the track during the 500. You don't want to know what I think about Marco.
