ok, I never watch IRL events, mostly because I truly despise oval racing.

But, I'll watch the Indy500, mostly just because all my other motorsports fan friends do. So, I tune in this morning and I have to say that this rain delay bullshit is a joke.

In ANY other form of racing they readjust the setups, toss on a set of rain tires, and SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.

I don't get it, racing in the rain can be really fun to watch, and part of motorsports ( in my mind) should be a battle with the conditions as well as yourself and the other drivers.

Anyway, MAYBE they'll take a couple hours to DRY the track if it stops raining in time, LOL!

What a waste of time. Oval racing is of the ghey.

I agree...that's why I won't waste my time watching the Indy 500...rather watch real racing like the Grand Prix of Monoco.

dude, I wish I could get decent coverage of anything other than NASCAR here.

check it, starting about 2 years ago we started losing coverage of FIA Rally, SPEED coverage of F1 got scaled back, NASCAR has 5 reality shows and their own suite of channels on cable.... makes me sad to live here.

I just wish I could get some FIAGT3, maybe some different euro open-wheel, or maybe an F1 race live... anyway, end rant.

The reason why they wont race on rain is bc they are averaging over 200mphs. I cannot stand oval racing either, but this race hasnt been bad. Very competitive (only 3 teams have a shot at winning: Andretti Green, Chip Ganassi, Penske).
