Adios
Indy driver Dan Wheldon is "in bad shape" according to Paul Tracy. Doesn't sound good. Haven't seen a good video of the crash, but it involved 15 cars. Lots of fire and cars flying through the air from what I saw. Bad.

I'm sorry but open wheel racing is a bit TOO dangerous. Prayers go out to Wheldon. :(

to be honest, this is the type of crash I would expect going into turn 1 at the brickyard, not vegas

Apparently drivers said the track was FAST and dangerous.... Sometimes, it's good to listen to them. :shake: I pray Wheldon is ok, but I'm fearing the worst.

My fraternity brothers and I used to have this fun pool where we'd get up early on Sunday and for a buck or 2 we'd draw a drivers name out of a hat and if they won you got the pool.

In '94 we were at our friends house in UA, I don't remember why, but, this tradition was his Dad's, and the Dad was excited we were all there to play the game with him. So, at some ungodly hour my buddy's Dad was kicking our hungover arses awake on the couches in his basement and shaking us down for money. We were all Shumacher fans back then, but, he'd been drawn already, so I was hoping to maybe get Mika Hakkinen, as he was always good at staying out of trouble and winning by staying on the course.

Drew Ayrton Senna that morning who I was no fan of but was the pole sitter... , and 20 minutes later he was killed at Imola. Terrible day.

CART and Indy has split that year too, and that was kind of the end of my interest in big time racing, as I see little skill in turning left.

I do like to catch some rally racing once in a while on Speed... you know the cheapy dar stuff with the navigator... that's fun stuff.
