I agree with you Tag on the foreign driver thing. I used to follow Indy cars for years and knew who the drivers were and knew a lot about the teams they drove for, not anymore.
The cars are incredible and it make you wonder just how fast they would run at Indy with no restrictions.
When I was a kid we used to always listen to the race on the radio and in the mid '60s my dad would take me to watch the 500 on closed circuit and I actually knew who the drivers were.
Times sure have changed.
