Honda is set to explore a series of weight saving components for their IndyCar noses, including but not limited to: balsa wood, blown glass, human hair, dragonfly wings, air (not sure how that will work) and paper mache. Their technical team said after today's race "...if we add more winglets and change the composition, the nose and front wings should explode if the driver so much as thinks of making contact. We are very close."

They were playing the Indycar St P race today at plasma donation work. Don't know who put it on but they deserve a high five. I actually donated so I could stick around and watch the race. Never seen IndyCar before

It's definitely my favorite racing series. Between road courses and short ovals, they drive a little bit of everything; keep watching, you'll enjoy it.

I don't have TV at home, but I'll find a way. That was a great track, fun 90's and a long stretch. I loved the car cam on the orange one (Rahal? I couldn't make out the names). More car cams!

Zero downforce in low speed corners; bad plan.

As tight as Long Beach is, that may be a 5 hour race...
