    Frank, you should plan a trip out to Vegas in November and check out the upside down pig track.

    That orbit is well above my pay grade.  I looked at it during the initial race event for the dual value however, I have been enjoying Austin.  With no sprint in Austin I'm taking a pass although Miami does have the sprint...
    I will see what can be had as that window closes although I'm quite sure it will be well outside reasonable.
    All in good fun!

    With the price of a Strip Casino drink I’d buy the Captain of a bubblehead, the prices would offset, I’m sure.

    Yep-he can drive and Mercedes is well ahead of the field.  Youth...Invincible.
    The whole dynamic with the major rules/engine/battery changes  introduces  quite a few new variables.
    As @unoriginalusername mentioned "Oh, to be back in 2005 with the NA V-10 engines." And do it with environmental friendly fuel...
