As for that jackass Robin Miller. Posey does not have the records of Mario Andretti but he was in the middle of it for the glory days. He did drive it all and had some success. He won Sebring and had some success at LeMans. A 3rd I think? Drove in the US Grand Prix once or twice as well. Not many of us, and certainly not that dip**** Robin Miller, can say that.

Well, it is my personal opinion not just Miller's. As I said, I was there at Riverside a few years when he was driving. You're right, he was no McLaren or Donohue. He is well spoken and intellectual. I just never liked him.
Is that OK with you?
Oh, and on the book thing, yes I've read some books where I actually felt something. Most notably Tom Wolfe. I don't get much out of Tom Clancy and that genre. But to suggest that Posey is anywhere close to a great writer is silly.
"Setting the stage" is one of TV's stupidest gimmicks ever.
"What do you think today's story line is going to be, Bob?"
"Well, Vettle is the man to beat today, but the advantage that the Mercedes has on the long straights could produce some interesting and quite surprising results. Steve?"
On come on, drop the freakin' flag and let the engines do the talking and the drivers put on the show. I don't give a rat's ass who raced there a century ago. I don't need any metaphors about the leaves turning colors as the season grows long in the tooth.
Stand on the ****in' gas.
