Do you Indy race teams know about the extra hundred?
I am curious to see the cars in 2012 .. IndyCars might suck me back in. .
not to worry Chris, P J, and I will not let that happen. LOL

HA HA HA HA Took me a few too
Just a bit of humor.
The month of May in Indy, Georgetown Rd., is a friggin trip. At least it was in the late 70`s early 80`s.
I took a tour ride, in their tour van around the track last year, and I didn't realize how narrow that track is. That was a pretty interesting tour of the track, and the museum.The real crazies used to camp along the railroad easement on Crawfordsville Road. We walk to the track on raceday and it used to be just nuts - campers and crazies have declined by 75% in the last few years.
IMS has worked really hard to calm things down inside the Speedway. Our seats used to be inside turn one in front of the infamous Snake Pit - THAT was really crazy! That's all gone and there is a large area on the backstretch where families can sit on the golf course for a very reasonable price.
If you are a fan of motorsports other than drag racing, you really should do this once - IMS is an amazing experience.
What Rule change happens in 2012???
The new open engine formula announced allows for any turbocharged engine up to 2.4L and 6 cylinders to run provided it can be tuned to produce the full range of 550-750 HP. The formula would allow hybrid systems, KERS system similar to Formula 1, and other engine enhancements. The "push to pass" feature in 2012 will allow a limited horsepower gain up to 100 HP as opposed to the current "overtake assist" which only provides 20 HP.
Sounds like Indy Car racing is about to get REAL expensive!
The new formula is intended to REDUCE engine lease costs! I'm sure many rules changes in motorsports have been successful in lowering costs, but for the life of me, I can't think of one! -
