Indy 500 is a joke

[RansomT]

Anyone hear any comments about the engine - like "does it have an engine?", "what engine?"

I didn't - but lots of "what magazine will you be doing bikini cover photos for next week?"

Because they all run the same engine.  All engines are built by Honda and leased to the race teams.  Can you imagine other forms of racing done the same way?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Yes -- not only can I imagine another racing body doing the "spec engine" thing -- it' is being done in one of the major motorcycle racing classes.  I think it's a Honda engine in SuperStock - or something -- but yup, they've got the identical engines.

I think.

 nowdays,
it is all  BORING

the engine thing  today is no different than way back when every entrant was MILLER powered.

or just like as above when there were only DOHC Fords and Offy ( miller)powered setups.

most of what we see today is because they need a SPONSOR,
and an engine maker stepped up.

Of course, this is why I and others love LSR. There are no cookie-cutter cars or bikes on the dirt or the salt. Variety is the norm - viva la difference! Where else can you see Briggs & Stratton motors on nitro, diesel V16's, helo turbines, flat Henrys in Camaros, or what have you in one place?

X2.......not forgetting the concrete, pavement, and ice....  Maxton, Loring, Goliad, Mojave and Sweden.....and even the highest level LSR teams operating at a fraction of those high $ corporate sponsorships.....

Who won? Can we pronounce their name? Do I ask too many questions?

I "DVRd" it but I have to finish the last 4 episodes of Trailer Park Boys before I watch it.

It was better when the tires where thin and the drivers where not.
