I agree with Power for Pole, probably the race as well, but I am going to go out on a limb too and Pick Takuma Sato for his first win.

Very good point George. I love to attend this race and see all of the cars and drivers and especially cruise the paddock and take pictures. It is very hard to keep track of what is actually going on though. I was there all day today and now am going to check the websites to see what actually happened. Sorry we could never connect today. Good luck with your interview Sunday!

There’s another Randy question you just mentioned. Barber is perfect in so many ways–couldn’t he persuade Mr. Barber to widen the track? Or at least some of the track to set up a couple passing zones. Everything great I hear about the Barber facility is always negated by the fact that you can’t PASS there. It would be expensive, I’m sure–but with everything so perfect and with such a supportive crowd–how great would it be with actual competition? I could see Barber truly being the “Masters” of open-wheel twisties, but not until it’s more than a great place to picnic.

George,
Last year I used a small FM radio with ear buds (many portable mp3 players have FM capability) for updates at the track, as Barber broadcasts the race over a local low power FM transmitter. Working today, here in the Savannah area, so I will be looking forward to reading your posts….
