I don't know if they had car problems, but it certainly made things harder for anyone racing near them. The espn commentator was quite pissed off at Takagi, and I don't blame him. nice race though. Funny how fast Zanardi was near the end. Adrian Fernandez was awesome the last 20 laps or so. Regards all, istoff

He has a way of using the rules to his advantage, or his teams. In cleveland he cost Memo Gidley the race by blocking him for a couple of laps with his teammate, francitti was leading. -Stuart Becktell

Pretty good race, from what I saw. Problem was, I only saw half of it, video tape ran out of steam. Dammit, sounded like an awesome finish. Rafe Mc On Mon, 16 Jul 2001 13:31:21 +0200, istoff <[email hidden]> wrote:
