Very good original post by CIRF. Lets get rid of the silly stage racing gimmick ASAP ! They have gotten better on the fake cautions though.

I went to the Iowa Indycar race a couple years ago and it was the most boring thing I have ever experienced. The leader had lapped up to fifth place in the first twenty five laps.

Are you basing your whole outlook on Indycar racing on one less than exciting Iowa experience? If so, you're grossly overlooking the quality of racing that has recently taken place at Texas, Pocono, St. Louis and, of course, Indianapolis. We attended every Indycar race at Chicagoland Speedway and those events were some of the best racing we've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Since NASCAR (International Speedway Corporation) basically owns Chicagoland they dropped Indycar. The crowds were good, too. Exactly why Chicago was dropped from the schedule several years ago still is mystifying.

In addition, we've attended the Indy 500 for a couple of decades and the last 5 or 6 500's have been some of the best racing we see all season. That definitely was not always the case.

Sorry you hit a dud at Iowa, but that's the exception rather than the rule. Even Fairbury, which has taken on nearly mythical status, produces a clinker from time to time. I've seen many there.
