Comments: Your site is exactly what I've been looking for.The CART series is the most exciting series in racingand I believe its fan following is going to rapidlygrow. I got to see the Molson Indy in Toronto lastyear and it didn't disappoint. I've been waiting 20 yrsto see a race since 1967 when at the age of 6 I becamea Mario Andretti fan (he was racing stock car then).Of course, now I'm a Michael fan and think he'll win the champioship this year.

Comments: Hi:
I truly hope that Jacques Villenuve comes back to Cart in '98.There is some talk around the F1 circuit that this may happen.If so, who will he drive for? i hope that he gets the F1 title,because he would be a prime candidate for Penske. He would be Roger's best bet in '98 after winning the title in only twoyears of F1.
Thanks guy's e-mail me soon.

Comments:i really enjoy your website. it offers very remarkablefeatures. keeping in touch with hte last minute news is great!! keepup the good work. favorite driver would have to be Jimmy Vasseralthough the whole chip ganassi team is who i favor. the one thing itruly enjoy about indycars more than any other racing series is thecompetition, as well as the variety of race circuits and ovals. younever know whos going to win!! 1997 champ is a toss up, but for somereason i believe that Alex Zanardi will bring home the cup. He's beenconstantly one of the fastest and smartest drivers on the field. Healso enjoys having a great team and he certainly has the fire ittakes and the guts to win it

Comments: Great site! I'm interested in comments on the CART/IRL mess. I don't understand what Tony George's problem is. CART has made every effort to make American open-wheeled racing a worldwide sport and Mr. George has thrown a wrench in because of personal control issues. I HATE spending the month of May at the lake instead of in Speedway. Anyway, CART rules!

Other drivers I like are Jimmy Vasser andGreg Moore. Drivers that should get off the road are Hiro Matsushita and the guy who drove Paul Tracy off the road at Indycarnival. I don't like Michael Andretti, but I'm going topredict that he'll win the championship this year.

You can even navigate with Lynx, a text only browser. It is not our fault that Netscape and InternetExplorer don't give users the choise to see frames or not. We also think that we use frames in a veryuseful way - not just for effects]

Favourite driver : Greg Moore, Patrick Carpentier (Nationalism strikes).97 Champ : Little Al (without winning a race)

Great work much success in the future.

Comments: Very good site. Would be nice if 'Back' would send you backto previous page(like most sites). Thanks for the games! Ihave done Timing&Scoring for CART/IndyCar/CART for 9 years (alasnot this one) & just love the sound of it. Wish CART would hookup with Trans-Am as a support series. For all of you who loveCART racing, try kart racing! Get behind the wheel and do allthe things the big boys do(spin, get loose, burn up tires, driveon the edge, find the fast line, race!)

Editor's Note: The problem reported by this user is related to Netscape 2.0's handling offrame pages. USe NS 3.0 or the "Back in Frame" option when clicking on the last opened frame withthe right mouse button (long click-down on the Macinstosh). NS 3.0 and IE 3.0 work as you would expect.

I heard that ecologists in Australia try to sabotage F1. They actually spread oil or gasoline on the track the daybefore the race, let's hope they don't try the same with the CART racing.
