Apparently Tagliani is impressed with double file restarts and I'd say that after last weekend he's right on the money.

The double-file restarts are new in IndyCar this year and have garnered plenty of criticism from drivers, many of whom prefer the previous system of single-file restarts following a full-course caution.

Lining up two-by-two has created more excitement and passing on the restarts, but also has led to more crashes, including the accidents that knocked out about a quarter of the field in Toronto on Sunday.

Tagliani said the double-file restarts give drivers at the back of the field a false sense of advantage that prompts them to take risks.

“When you pack us up and have marbles on the race track, we create so much turbulence, the guy in P8 has a big, big draft and feels like he’s 10 miles an hour quicker and can make it all up in one corner—and you have wrecks.”

the fans like exciting racing alex, deal with it. :) as childress told harvick a few years ago, "just shutup and drive." <g>
 
I'm looking all over my tv guide for this race tomorrow!:mad:

Oh, it's on the 24th. Gonna miss turn one on the old layout, but those long straightaways on the new one look interesting.

Yeah, I put the thread up a week early...;)
 
Well, since practice was rained out yesterday in Edmonton, they will practice today at 11:40am & 1:25pm Eastern time. Both sessions are 45 minutes in length. Qualifications will be as scheduled, 5:30PM Eastern.
 
good fo Takuma, now if he can just turn that into a great finish.
 
Obviously a bonehead move by Tagliani leading up to that accident. That's one of those "what did you expect would happen?" kind of moves.
