I agree that mo...Good job by ESPN with the Indy500. I agree that more back in the pack racing would have been good, but they did use decent camera angles and seemed on top of the strategies for the teams.<br /><br />Ha, think it's funny that the NASCAR people have been interjecting to gain interest. Sorry, I'm not expecting much from the 600. Based on Fox's track record and the way the track at CMS has been since "levigation", I expect one car will run away in clean air and whatever racing there might be other than at the front, we won't see it unless it involves DP, Jr or KK since they appear to be the chosen ones.<br /><br />Weather has finally cleared up here in my area at least for the moment, so I think I'm going to try and get some work done outside.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4202164963586318432012-05-27T17:27:06.979-04:002012-05-27T17:27:06.979-04:00I agree, pretty solid presentation overall.

As a result they probably -- no, they did, register more with me as I was not constantly P.O'd I especially liked how fast the transition back to full screen was from the SxS.<br /><br />I also like the new car. Looks racy unlike the COT when we were given that monstrosity.<br /><br />Also I liked the In-Car, or Overhead or Air Intake camera (what-ev-er) shots. Why because they were like old time NASCAR In-Car cams. I could watch the driver drive. The side shot cam not so much. Could have done without that.<br /><br />Lastly the booth seemed to care that I had some clue about what was going on. That was nice and I think how nice it would be for me to be able to say the same thing after the 600.<br /><br />I shall not, however, be holding my breath that I shall be able to.AncientRacernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12080954372364566232012-05-27T16:30:15.673-04:002012-05-27T16:30:15.673-04:00Mr Editor -
