| Name: Claude Miller Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: NJ, WA & AZ. Time: 1996-12-26 10:13:00 Comments: Paul Page,I'm so sorry to hear that you'll be doing only the IRL series next year. I'll miss your presence at the CART events. You have been the essence of CART broadcasts for so many years. I know you think it is in your best interests to go with the IRL because of the IRL 500 at Indianapolis, but you will be missed by many.Think carefully..one premier event in a minor series may not be the correct path. Just my opinion.Claude, 'your folically challanged and 'girth' enriched friend, Miller |

| Name: Daniel Snodgrass Website: Referred by: NewsGroups From: Southern New Jersey Time: 1996-12-25 22:14:00 Comments: You do a great job with this page. I come all the time to check on with news. My Uncle is Race Control for CART, so the Indycars have been a part of my life for quite some time.Champ for next year is Alex Zanardi or Bobby Rahal. My favorite driveris Rahal so I have to pick him. Keep up the good work. |

You have a great page and resource for us racing fans. I do love most forms of racing, though NASCAR has to be my favorite. Indy/CART used to be the 2nd in my heart, but with all of the crap happening, it just isn't as fun anymore. Hopefully I can make some of the race dates at Sears Point this next year. Indy, CART, NASCAR, Trucks, and Nostalgia racing. They got them all. Maybe, just maybe I can travel to the new California and Las Vegas tracks this year. Racin' ain't it great!CART: anybody newINDYCAR: who caresNASCAR: Dale Earnhart(the 8th championship will be great for the sport) Dales my favorite. Been following him since he drove a pink car. If he is the "Man in Black" now, what was he then?BUSCH: Jeff GreenTRUCK series: The new kid in the 3 truck or a Dodge(it would be great for the sport)Keep this page happening. Glad to see you exceeded 100K visitors.Happy Holidays and Good Health to ALL. |

I fell in love with IndyCar racing at Portlandin '96 and haven't been able to get enough of it since.Competition will be fierce in '97 but I'm keeping my fingerscrossed for Christian and Michael. Alex is going to be greatagain too. Keep up the wonderful site. I like lots of picturesand driver info. |

Of particular interest to me is the silly season page. It has been invaluable in setting up my list of driver values. Also, I find your "news" to be as up to date as anyones; I always go to you guys first. Keep up the good work, and good luck getting sponsored for the upcoming season. You have a fine product, and I for one would hate to see it go. |

| Name: J C Allensworth Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Chicago,Il Time: 1996-12-17 06:13:00 Comments: My vote for favorite and best driver is Little Al.I don't think anybody did more with what little he had to work with. I hate to say it but Micheal Andretti is my votefor second best. Dog of an engine but chassis was good.All in all it was a GREAT SEASON even without INDY.Keep up the good work CART and SPEEDCENTER, I'm already for97' Yours Truly, JC Allensworth |

| Name: Colin O'Brien Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada Time: 1996-12-10 18:59:00 Comments: Love the site, and the vote (wish I coulda won the Paul Pic!)Paul Tracy is my favorite driver, even though my fiancee trasheshim for always crashing!I can't wait to see how '97 turns out, anyone can be champ aslong as its as good racing as last year, and Michael A. doesn't win! |
| Name: Jeff McKeand Website: Referred by: Other Link From: Panama City, Florida Time: 1996-12-10 10:42:00 Comments: Great web site...up to date info whenever I want.Favorite driver...Al Unser, Jr.I'm gonna go with Unser for the title. I don't think that Ganassi's team can defend their title from an ever increasingly competitive field. Repeating would be difficult for anyone. The only consistent driver left is Unser. He's always there, every race, every year. Count out Newman/Haas. They'll be too busy shaking down the new chassis. |

| Name: Todd Sams Website: Referred by: Other Link From: Cincinnati, Ohio Time: 1996-12-09 10:43:00 Comments: SpeedCenter is the best site for Indycar Info.!! The IRL is a pathetic bunch of wash-ups and wanna-bes!!! De Ferran will dominate in the Valvoline Honda!!!! Greg Moore will win in 1997. |
| Name: Mark Cipolloni Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: New Jersey Time: 1996-12-08 19:04:00 Comments: Great site for CART IndyCar news. Getting better by the day. Favorite Driver: Michael Andretti. However, his Swift chassis is very suspect for 1997. Therefore, my 1997 pick is Alex Zanardi. |
| Name: Andy Backa Website: The Chewey Pages Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Ottawa, Ontario Time: 1996-12-08 18:02:00 Comments: Well I've been checking this site out for quite a while now, and I thought I'd just drop a note to thank you guys/girls for the effort.

| Name: Gustavo Rugani do Couto e Silva Website: Referred by: Other Link From: Belho Horizonte, MG, BRAZIL Time: 1996-12-08 06:47:00 Comments: I really liked the Speed Center Page. It's quite a good place to know the news about Indycar. My favourite driver is Andre Ribeiro. I like him very much, because of his charisma and agressive piloting. If you have any adress of his Homepage I'd be grateful if you could send me it. The 97's champion will be Andre Ribeiro or Gil de Ferran. Another thing I'd like to get is the new cars photos, like Gugelmin's, etc...Thanks a lot, Gustavo Rugani |
| Name: Bill Coggins Website: Referred by: Yahoo From: Nazareth, Pennsylvania Time: 1996-12-08 06:24:00 Comments: Great site, my picks for the upcoming season are:1) Michael Andretti2) Christian Fittapaldi3) Al Unser Jr./Parker Johnstone(sentimental choice) |

| Name: Wayne Duval Website: Wayne's IndyCar Photo Gallery Referred by: Word of Mouth From: White Rock, BC, Canada Time: 1996-12-07 10:32:00 Comments: SpeedCenter continues to add new features and should be the premier site for up-to-date IndyCar news in 1997. Favorite driver is Greg Moore, but Zanardi will likely take the PPG championship in 1997. |

| Name: Andrew C. Duke Website: Referred by: NewsGroups From: Visalia, Ca Time: 1996-12-04 22:15:00 Comments: '97 SHOULD be Paul Tracy's year if he gives 100%. But, it will probably be Alex Zanardi. |
