Cheever has always been a menace. He has never been a true contender.
The best he can do against real race drivers is to take them out.

Marco was blowing everybody away. Bad move by Cheever. I bet race fans
are not the only ones who are mad at Cheever. I bet ABC is ticked off too.

Cheever
Franchitti
Herta
Unser, Jr.
Carpenter

Whatever....

The list of IRL drivers that don't belong on the track probably has
about 15 names on it.

They weren't much in CART. Unser, Jr was washed up years before he went
to the IRL, a long-time has been. Franchitti, Cheever and Herta were
also rans; Carpenter a never was.

It would be like Janet Guthrie getting in an IRL car.

noone lives in butt fuck farm country. If they didn't have huge juicy servings
of taxpayer funded pork and federal farming subsidies, they wouldn't exist!

Someone living in a place that depends so much on government aid has no right
to claim being a capitalist, especially with a crook leading the country who
borrows $billions from China just so he can give it away in the form of tax
cuts to rich people and has bloated the US civil service to such a size that
it's the biggest the world has ever seen.


Under Bush, the US has become a socialist gulag.

What you watched is a real open wheel race. You've probably been
watching too much F1. Somewhere you forgot what racing is all about. IRL -
real racing. F1 - competition between engineers. IRL - race car drivers.
F1 - jockeys.

You think Schumacher has the guts to race man to man in the IRL on a
road course? Nope. He knows he couldn't run away and hide from the rest of
the field.

IRL drivers are not ballerina dancers like F1 jockeys are.

At least he admitted to nipping Danica Patrick. From the replays no one
could tell if Cheever bumped her. He admitted he did.

You're right. F1 has green flag racing. That's what I was expecting.
I forgot that real open wheel racing like, with the IRL, is conducted
under full course yellows.

The IRL has ruined open wheel in both bodies so you don't have much

He was quick and racy, but I wouldn't say he was blowing everybody away.
I watched him go up to turn 9 several times and I was expecting to
throw that waving yellow. He's quick, but inexperienced and it was
plainly obvious by many of the bad passing attempts I saw him try to set
up. I could tell that kid was a timebomb.

Reminded me of Keke Rosberg in a Can Am car at the Glen.

Was that on your spotters net? We didn't get those calls on Able's. We
were told not to call in 2-offs or 4-offs if they continued.

Timebomb? Ok, I will give you that. Yeah, the kid needs to calm down
just a tad.

Nah. That was in an article in Autoweek
describing the corner worker's call for
Keke Rosberg in a Lola T-332 (Can Am)
going through the uphill esses at the
Glen. At the time, the uphill esses had
curbing installed to slow the cars. They
were installed a year or so after Francois Cervert
lost his life at the bridge at the top of the hill.

He was scaring the piss out of me when I saw him zig zagging to try to
get around cars going up that hill when he hadn't set up a pass
properly. I had my yellow flag partly unfurled for quite a few laps when
I saw such antics.
