They have had those camera's for a couple of years now. Sometimes they
present a rather poor view, and others, like Sunday, you get a nice picture
of what the driver sees. Vancouver is a bumpy track, plus wind buffeting,
it's a wonder they can see apex's at all.

I was in section B2 row 1 (bronze). Where were you sitting?
Go Paul!
Spudster.
I am not sure if you saw it (it wasn't well publicized during or after
the race) but in the next 2 laps following the start, at the
Start/Finish line, Tracy gave the finger to the marshall twice! In
fact, the fellow sitting beside me managed to get a perfect shot of it
on his digital camera. Now I wish I had given him my email address so
that he could email a copy of the picture. This would be a keeper for
sure!
My wife was totally pissed off at Dominguez for his stupid move on
Carpentier. She is a #32 fan and we were all hoping for a Players
Team 1,2 finish. But at least we got #1 with Paul!
Now if I can only figure out a way to be in Montreal in late August I
could complete the Canadian Molson Indy trio!

On Eurosport, the race feed went dead after half distance, so we only got to
see the dumb move on Tagliani. Anything else exciting happen in the second
half?
I sure would like to see if Manning would have more speed in a top flight
Lola...

Hey Spudster
I was at the race sitting in Silver5 stands - end of the straight at turn 6.
IMHO there were an awful lot of really bad "official" calls over the
weekend. The start was unbeleivable... Junkie had such a huge jump over
Tracy...why was the green even shown!?!?
I watched Dominguez "harpoon" Carpentier (running second) while Dominguez
was running TWO LAPS down! Crazy - and they didn't even give him a
drive-through for doing it (or did they?).
Did you guys watch the Barber Dodge race?
Terrible call on Dan Dileo.... he's leading the race and then has the second
place guy make a "never going to happen" attempt to pass on the sweeper and
when Dan turns in toward the apex (staying completely on the racing line)
the 2nd place car spins (not sure whether there was even contact or not) and
they penalize Dan with a drive-through!!! Yah.... you don't want the
leader of the race "using the racing line" do ya!?!?!?
Lots of questionable calls from the CART officials if you ask me.
Cheers
<Mike>
