Indy 500??? Wuzat?



I remember as a kid, it was like the Superbowl. Now? Not so much. In fact, haven't heard the first word about it, until your post. I need to crawl out from under my rock...

The last time I was all excited about it Jimmy Clark was in the deal...Don'T know why I lust liked him and i was just a kid
Like most races they have become a big Money machine and that one does not do it for me.
Why did they out law Cumings Diesel from the race ?

Certainly not the fans of real open-wheel racing.

From these replies it would appear that people would rather talk smack than pick a winner.

I'll pick a Penske or Ganasi car. Sorry, can't narrow it down.

I like Patrick too now that my 1st two choices are out

I watched an old Clark Cable movie yesterday where he was an Indy driver. Very cool seeing a 30s or 40s Indy track & looking at it today..

I just tuned in, I don't usually watch Indy cars. I have a question. Do they ever shift gears? Or are they always in one gear?

Yes they shift between 5th and 6th during a lap.
