:D Had a great time in Long Beach, a lot of races to watch but it was a bummer that the Champ-cars couldn't get through the first turn without a major pile up. I will post pics from Sat. but not today as my frickin camera failed................tired and ready for a shower and early to bed.............

Teammates taking each other out, that always sucks. Tracy was irate. Do you think that Bourdais will get a drive in F1 next year?

I'd like to see Sea Bass in F1, but I doubt he'll get the chance too many other talents out there.......

Should JV lose his seat, Bourdais would be one of a limited number I wish for it to go to.

As for the race, mega disappointed that Mario took Tracy out. It was a crazy start. Happy for Justin and Alex whilst Ranger did well to keep his cool and finish P6. Think it's a month before the next race so it'll be a loooooooonnnnngg break, especially for those taken out at the first corner.

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.

No  he doesn't, I believe he has one of those 'optical' type face shield because as soon as he takes his helmut off he gets handed his glasses...........
