Default Champ Car @ Long Beach '06 = Most boring race evAr.

Only neat thing I found was watching Katherine Legge do pretty well (8th?) even after a spin.

Default Re: Champ Car @ Long Beach '06 = Most boring race evAr.

even with a far from perfect car set-up.. way to go Katherine !!!! ... her car had set-up issues and Vassesr's old 6 speed tranny breaks.. and thank Mario Domingez in part for the boring race by taking out some of the top drivers including his teamate.. Another reason why the talent to find $$$$$$ instead talent to drive really makes for sucky racing.... And I LOVE Champ car.. the ability to find $$$$$ over driver talent is not just a Champ car issue BTW....

Default yeah you're right it seems motorsports will never be a true meritocracy.

I'm a big CCWS fan also, but Bourdais is slowly becoming the Schumacher of 3 years ago. becoming too dominant! btw, while MD did cause the 1st-turn wreck, I think he's proven over the past few years that he belongs in the series. the various Speraficos and Matsu****as of seasons past, OTOH.....

Default She def. has more talent than DP.

not saying Danica isn't talented, but Katherine is a level above.

Default I think her British reserve is an endearing and cute quality. DP is hotter looking, but Legge

seems less egotistical. But it's too early to really say. Let's hope the media doesn't ruin her.

Default Katherine's my type of girl!

I'm a big boy! and I likes a girl with some meat on her bones, + I absolutley LOVE English women, they seem so refined (middle class women that is!)!
