of Indy & What You'd Love To See

Everyone and their monkey's uncle tries to pick the winner. Meh! That is a 1:33 chance. Who cares? This is what I'd like to see happen in this Indy 500.

1 - I'd love to see Paul Tracy kick everyone's ass and retire from racing. Oh & it would be sweet if he could win the race, too.
2 - Tags and the Sam Schmidt team win! This could be the start of a new dynasty in racing - or not.
3 - I like Dario. Having him win would be nice and who doesn't want to see his lovely wife in her hat running up the pit lane crying for joy? Who?
4 - Danica. OMG. Is she the new Michael-I-need-more-cheese-with-my-whine-Andretti? Goodness gracious. If she could retire the car in the first 5 laps, I'd be happy.
5 - Pippa. Wow. What doesn't she have? Let's see: a sister married to the Prince, a bum that has its own twitter page (several in fact), a fan club, AND A RACE CAR in the Indy 500?!?!!? Go Pippa!
6 - Nice weather, no controversy, and no one maimed.

Thanks Bibs!

HarVWallbanger generously shipped the Betta car bodies with his entry so each host will be able to pick a door prize. I can't wait to get my hands on one. The last time I had a clear bodies they were Parma's Lambo and GTP Jag. I am hoping to be converted to liking this style of car body.
