That adds up to 600 degrees.

Damn, we really do have some brilliant people here.

I would take Miguel Meza, but that team has been going dysfunctional lately, so . . . . Gord Fraser.

Actually, I take that back. If the Navs are going to be there, I'll take Davidenko.

Jonas has done well last two years, winning in 2001 and being in the right place but losing a tire
in the last turn last year, Davidenko could do well there also, It is definately a course that a
sprinter can win on unless there is one of the epic race long breaks that happens every now and then
and the sprinters miss it. Henry, you gonna come up and check it out this year?

What I hear is that if Nothstein is leading out Davidenko, no one can do anything.

Going to Street Scene the night before. Will be hung over (ie. no way).

If the course was a figure 8, that would work out. But it isn't, so...

Mebbe they're bringing in this:

Sounds perfect if the Carneys and Nothstein show up, unless that particular goon show is exclusive
to T-town:

That's for sissies! It's got an overpass. If you're going to do figure 8 races, it's gotta be on
a flat course. Proper maneuvering at the intersection is what would make it a real test of skill
and excitement. That, and goonishness. I bet ABC would show that race live in primetime.

Just got back from the pre-riding the course in MB, there some saturns and navigators warming
up, tough to know who is who.... They closed down 6am lower portion turn and where practicing
35mph turn...

Some shroeder and monex riders were present pre-riding the course and stretching the legs..

Ony of my favorites is Shroeder's kiwi import Flash Gordon Macalay who was able to ride away solo on
last 3 local races...

Yes, if you ever rode that course ( thats when your adult diaper isn't leaking) you will see that
there 3 300 degree turns on each side of the course.

Your point exactly, just reversed!

I mentioned ABC because many years ago (back when the Indy 500 was about the only car race seen
on TV - and that was on tape delay), the figure 8 championships where shown as a Wide World of
Sports segment. (Of course, my memory could be playing a trick on me.)
