Every race should have the word "Excitment" in it!

Hi everyone! Wow, what a strange and exciting race! I'am still trying to digest everything that went on in that race! First off, I'am not even going to comment on the JG/RW incident! :) (it has changed the points situation though!). As for the red flag, in this situation I think it was a good thing. There was a ton of oil and other gunk on the track, (I think the exit of turn 2 was messing drivers up anyway even before #96 hit the wall). We would have defently seen the yellow flag out for the remaining 7 laps to clean up the mess! It was defently a finish worth waiting through the red flag for! There is one thing about the finish that is confusing me. The way I saw it, the order of the finish when the last yellow was thrown was Labonte, Jarret, and Wallace. When they came to the line, Wallace was challenging Labonte, obviously passing Jarret, does this mean Rusty passed under yellow? I could be wrong though, I'am still trying to sort out everything that went on! Later (and showing signs of shock!) John

Sorry about that everyone! I ment to post that in rec.autos,sport.nascar (the group right below rec.autos.simulators in my newsreader anyway! :) ). I'am sure there will be opinions here as well though! Sorry about that, :) John (Giving himself the black flag for a netequite violation!)

If you are talking about the F1 race at Montreal.....thanks SO much for heading your post with a warning!!

Seeing how the F1 race was quite strange as well, my post last night could have quite easily have been about the F1 race that happened today! It's races like the NASCAR/F1 race that really keep auto racing interesting to watch! Later, John

Thank heavens for that! I picked that up in his next post, where he referred to a NASCAR race.

The F1 race was strange. Not too familiar with the backmarkers so can't remember the name, but the guy with the "lawnmower" needs to get a sponsorship from John Deere, or the European equivalent :-) Talk about "earth-moving" equipment. And the attrition was unbelievable. Oh well, Schumi won so I was happy. He was driving the hell outta the Ferrarri, from 2nd AND a 10 second stop 'n' go, plus needing another stop, to a *** win was impressive. Even if the McClaren's had still been running, I think he would've had something for them. Might be an interesting championship run after all. Ken - go #43 and #44 (yeah, from NASCAR, but I watch the other stuff too)

Yep....DEFINITELY a NASCAR race, that one at Momntreal!

Hi John: No harm-no foul, for us F1 fans. However, courtesy dictates that you put the word "SPOILER" in your subject line if you are going to talk about races before everyone has a chance to see them. I'd do that for about 24 hours after a race. This goes for here, and for the "Real" race newsgroups. It is funny, cause I thought you were talking about the F1 race to. If you don't watch much F1, that's a series that doesn't need crashes to be exciting. What are your strongest memories of the Indy 500? While the crashes are interesting, nice because no one seemed to be hurt, F1 has so much going on, they aren't the high points. Perhaps I'm showing my bias. Larry

Tee hee, you mean Mr. Parmalat's son (Paulo Pedro Diniz). I was there at the track this weekend, and everybody was laughing seeing him. Shame to the Montreal GP for putting fresh grass close to the track. At least if they had put them not 2days ago <g> (one of the many bad point about this year organisation) I wouldn't be surprise to see Fisi get the win in the next few days. Seriously. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s.

I'am impressed with Fisi this year as well! (Does anyone else think he'll get a ride with Ferrari next year?) Beneiton is doing a lot better with the Mechacrome engine compared to Williams this year! Hopefully JV/HHF will get a better package soon! Later, John
