Found this quote from Mario interesting...


'Is Indianapolis the right venue for F1 in America?' I ask.

"I tell you what," enthuses Mario. "I don't think the track is the greatest, but I've seen worse and the fact that today there is no individual or company that could promote an F1 race and make money. The only ones that can afford to lose money are governments that back the sport. Indianapolis to me is like a government. It will never be a profitable event for them but they can afford to stage it, for prestige and everything. It's great because the name Indianapolis and everything else, it's like Monza it's synonymous! I think it's a great venue and I'm glad that it's there. If it continues for at least 2 more years and it's well attended, I think you will see a re-shaping of the track. Tony (George) already told me that they will build a tunnel that will go out and come back, lengthen the track and give it more character. So to answer your question, yes!"

What would they do? Run the track out in the BY Crossing golf course? I really cannot visualize any place else it could go.

Out the North Tunnel and over to Ziggy's house and back. ;)

We can all sit on the roof and pretend that Team Minardi is the Cubs.

Maybe I'll even swing by Ziggy's, as long as I don't put any money in the pocket of TG.
