    Why won't they get rid of the twin idiots, Goodyear in particular?

    If the race had been held on Sunday with perfect weather, you would still have been shocked by the sparse crowd. Of course there would have been literally tens of thousands more, but there would have been well less than 50% of capacity.

    I have grave concerns for the future of BMS.

    The crowd at Richmond is a good indicator of what it would have been at Bristol with nice weather.

    Indycar.com is streaming Alonso's first test session at IMS. He's ran 96 laps so far with a best lap of 222.548.

    Reporting that over 800,000 people in Europe are watching the live stream.

    Saw the video on YouTube, and he looked very smooth, never really seemed to be over his comfort zone. I would guess he was just a little over nine tenths at most. No drama whatsoever.

    SeaBass with a scary crash during qualifying. He has multiple pelvic fractures and a right hip fracture.

    Was quite sad to hear the news about The Kentucky Kid, Nicky Hayden, yesterday. Such a loss.

    I hate it when these guys who cheat death for a living, like Hayden and Schumacher, end up losing their lives or overall health to things like bicycle or skiing accidents.

    That was awful news. Thoughts are with his family.

    If that crash happened pre-safer wall, Sebastian would almost certainly be dead.

    Yep. Even now, I thought he was dead when I saw it happen.

    That was a crazy wreck Dixon had. Amazing he is OK.

    Yep. If the car had rotated a bit more before it hit the wall, he probably wouldn't have walked away.
