THIS IS WHAT RACING IS ALL ABOUT!

what a race!! ... let's at least hope that the new "aero kits" for big ovals in the crapwagon series feature wings as small as these, and something like the hanford device. This is real racing, where the drivers can not only draft, but actually pass each other. Imagine that.

BTW, how about Dario pulling off track with a blown engine? Guess he forgot how to do that a year later..

CART will always be the best...and hopefully the "aero kit" plan will fall on it's face along with the EARL. FTG

I think they were more like 900 to 950. But either way, they were flying. Now the EARL is dumbing down their cars to 575? Are you kidding me?

[mazatleco17]

I believe they were using 1000hp in 2000.

[djbadlt]

they were almost 20mph slower in 2001 compared to 2000? what did CART do?

[mazatleco17]

awesome, it's a shame open wheel oval racing is dead, those engines were sweet.

[khrisinfo]
