And technology has finally won. As a kid I would wait anxiously for every Indy 500 just to see how much faster they were going that year. Every year it was an extra 2-3-4 mph. But not anymore. F1 doen't even tell you how fast they're going. Now everybody is trying to figure out how to slow the cars down. The driver is now the limiting factor and there's no more "show." No more reason to get excited waiting for the next speed record. NASCAR always knew it. They kept the cars simple and concentrated on personalities and putting on a good show. Maybe somebody will figure it out. I would much rather watch a driver try to make a 100 mph car go 120 than a 350 mph car go 300.</p></blockquote><p></p>
