Other than that the first lap carnage wiped out much of the racing and the lack of competitveness from the Michelins-shod teams made it BORING!

It was a pretty boring race! That carnage in the beginning with the car that barrel rolled 3 times was about the most exciting thing that happened all race!

Was more like a Ferrari cake walk!

If you were at the USGP though for Pit Walk, Practice Sessions and Qualifying you got to see a lot even though the race itself wasn't so great. I had a blast there this weekend.

+1 I clocked 1650 miles in the S from Friday morning until Monday at 3am. All but the last few were top-down too!

That's the best way to do a race.

I agree the race was boring. I'd rather watch tony kanaan in the indy cars series. Much more competitive racing. Now it's 2 years in a row the US GP's ended up with a short field. It's too bad, I hope it doesn't affect future events and TG's future participation.
