It is fun to see them backing away from the "IRL" in a hurry, but until they back away to 1995 I'm still not buying.

[SteveH]

And the roll hoop make an appearance in the logo.

[Methanolandbrats]

What a sad day, the IRL is officially dead. There must be a hot market in IRL memorabilia :rofl:

[stroker]

What is that, a '73 Eagle?

[devilmaster]

Those mirrors will never work

[SurfaceUnits]

someone break out a protractor and measure the angle of that incline

[Indy]

What is that, a '73 Eagle?

Haha, that is what I thought.

Does this mean their new chassis will not have a stupid airbox? Damn, get rid of the back-breaking Tonytard gearbox and they might be on to something. :gomer::tony::gomer:

Amazing to think how close it came to having the silhouette of a dildo on there.

Sad, really. That would have been the awesomest dildo ever.

[NismoZ]

AIRboxes!? We don't need no steenking AIRboxes! We got TURBOS!:tony:

[Ziggy]

I'm underwhelmed :cry:

anybody seen the Dallarah "factory" :rofl: (it's not really that funny)

[dando]

Sad, really. That would have been the awesomest dildo ever.

Fixed. :p

There's a new car this year?

[cameraman]

Nope. Same old sleds.

That building looks perfectly good to me. Why knock it down?

For taxpayer supported architecture the delineation does not look too bad.

I wonder if the gomers will "get" the homage to the tribune on the Monza main grandstand
on the far side of the the frontage?

I love the the Smart car parked in front. I wonder if the artist is mocking Dallara or the IRL or both?

[Anteater]

Along with all these other new things, please check out the new driver introduction stage:

Yeah, that's really gonna ramp up the excitement factor! :shakehead

[TKGAngel]

Why are there 35-some-odd shovels lined up in front of the building? Are there really that many politicos & brown nosers involved with this thing?

35 is just a number. :tony:

Seriously though, I bet someone mentions 33 shovels + a few. :rolleyes:

The earl is probably paying Daimler and Dallara to associate the word 'smart' with something they're involved in.

[nrc]

I saw where they're bringing back racing eggsitement by doing side-by-side restarts. I always did think that it was pansy when Champ car did away with them but this is truly closing the barn door after the horses have escaped.

Also they're opening an LA office. Yeah, that's the solution, more Hollywood. Get the band back together and hit 'em with "Driven 2: Visible From Space".

That's Roger Penske stopping by looking for an unfair advantage.

[Duroc]

Also they're opening an LA office. Yeah, that's the solution, more Hollywood. Get the band back together and hit 'em with "Driven 2: Visible From Space".

Let me guess... Randy still lives in Vegas and is looking for a shorter commute.

with all the BS that will be tossed out, there will be alot of siht to be shoveled

[Ziggy]

Would love to see the IRS or a real journalist look into each and everyone of these shovelers!

[Anteater]

Good one, SurfaceUnits!

Having worked around bulls for years Ropin' Randy should be good at that.
