OTOH, you still have road courses and larger ovals. The two
superspeedways with the Handford device can make you dizzy. :)
And if you *really* want passing, tune into NASCAR...
"But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was
nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

Another reason is that there arent many teams with inferior
equipment this year.....No more Mercedes engines, eagle chassis
or goodyear tires. (i know they didnt have GY tires last year to)
There also seem to be less of the luiz garcia type of drivers now to
(getting lapped on the first lap...hehe)
I think there should be a fair amount of passing at the next race,
which is a
Oval.
If you want to see allot of passing, then the Cart superspeedways
are the best thing to watch.....probably more passes done on
those than any other series race such as Nascar/IRL/F1

Mexico was a bore, Detroit's always a bore, tight tracks require skill but
they don't make for good racing. Bring on Elkhart!
