I'm glad I missed that mess at the Indy USGP. Then again, I was there for the 
mess the first two years.

You said the fights were in the grandstands...also in the corn fields a mile 
away...

Speaking of pulling G's, der Frau and I flew to Texas Speedway several years 
ago 
to watch the CART Indy Car races there. During practice, the drivers were 
'greying out' in the corners due to pulling excessive G's.

So . . . an hour before the race, most of the drivers, headed by Michael 
Andretti said that it was 'too dangerous', and wouldn't drive. 

So the promoters cancelled the race and refunded the price of the tickets. That 
was the good news. The bad news was that were were out RT air fare, rental car, 
hotel, and meals. Well over $1,000 dollars. 

Almost as bad as he trip to Indy for the Bridgestone only USGP. The only 
difference between the two races was at Texas, the fistfights were in the pits, 
and at the USGP, we had several break out on our grandstand. Talk about fun!

I love the smell of tear gas in the morning and fans being hauled away in 
handcuffs! <g> Who else was there for that fiasco?

Yer 'been there, seen that' pal, Battling' Bubba

Maybe drivers will have to wear G Suits like fighter pilots wear.

Have? been watching my tape of the recent subject race and have a couple of? 
questions
for the brain rust, make that brain trust.? One of the? commentators 
mentioned the P1 leaders were pulling 4 G's thru some corners? and around 
1.5G on braking (!!) - pretty incredible,? He also said? the braking, 
especially,
 was very hard on the legs and back - painful in? fact - every 
lap, over and over.

Ya think we're close to creating? cars that are too demanding physically for 
the drivers?? M Shumacher? was very fit when driving F1 as was most other 
drivers at that level - I? suspect that was for self protection as much as 
for improving their? driving ability.

Or perhaps the cars already exist that are so good at? pulling high G's when 
cornering or braking that they had to be redesigned? to allow the drivers 
some hint of the ability to be in control?? IOW,? are the designs of the cars 
being restrained by the drivers? physiology?

Next, where were the Porsche RS Spyders?? Taking a? break?? ;-)

Thanks gang -
