Wow.... Vettal just ran away with it. The kids got some serious talent. A lot of good mid-pack dicing going on as well with a strong showing from Fisi.

It was an interesting race from a strategy standpoint, but I was sort of hoping for some weather action.

make the beast with two backs a bunch of strategy. I can see that in a Chess match. I want to see some racing. Qualifying is becoming more exciting. 

Congratulations to Mark Weber. It only took 130 races.

So, I'm curious. I've been watching F1 since '88 and Indycar since '82 or so. In all that time, I don't have many recollections of multi-car duels every single race all season long. In fact, the last few years have been pretty exciting compared to the years when half the field broke, or ran out of gas. Are you just hopeful for NASCAR-esque side-by-side duels on a street course?

I really don't know. I have been watching all of them since the 70's. I guess I'm looking for more ALMS/Grand Am type racing. Actually racing each other on the Track. It happens occasionally.
