This is MY event! I've been to all 40 Long Beach GPs, all three days of most. This will be 41. We have the best seats in the house: top row Grandstand 29 on the aisle on the Shoreline Drive straight, at the start-finish line, across from the pits. We have Marina Parking right in back of our seats, across the access road from the Corvette Corral -- 150 Vettes. Big Red (see my sig) will be party central for three days. We'll be there at 7 AM each of the three days. I can't wait!

hmm...no thread for the race from Barber 
I was away at autocross today and just got home in time to catch the last 10 laps. Graham Rahal made some impressive passes. Wish I had recorded the race. In any case I've set up the DVR to get the whole series, so I should be good going forward.

I intend to watch all the street circuit and road course races for IndyCar this season. You have definitely played a role in my desire to start watching IndyCar. So there is a positive impact to what you are doing just the same as AE_Racer for sports cars.

Wouldn't he have been in the points lead had he not run out of gas? 
In any case, lots of good racing/passing yesterday. Initially it appeared that the Honda aero kit was inferior to the Chevrolet, but as the announcers mentioned, that kit seems to help preserve rear tires better. Plus, I think Honda teams are still working on tweaking their aero.
I didn't get to watch the whole thing but it sounded like F1 analyst Steve Matchett was one of the announcers yesterday. "get him son, go get'm!!!"
