Episode 96 – Openpaddock.net Podcast

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadJoin the crew for a heated discussion on all things Toronto. Needless to say this cast is rated T for teen given some rather strong language. Shaun and Mike strongly disagree with the Dario/Power situation.

INDYCAR – Toronto Street Fight

This weekend marked the first of two Canadian rounds on the championship as the IZOD IndyCar Series traveled to the streets of Toronto. The circuit has always been known for passionate fans and chaotic races that usually end with a decent attrition rate. Well this weekend went over the top as all hell broke loose Sunday afternoon. Not only did Dario further his title lead, but a lot of drivers let their feelings hang out more than usual and that has fans buzzing. While I would love to do a…

INDYCAR – Milwaukee Thoughts

After a year off the calendar, the Milwaukee Mile made its triumphant return to the schedule yesterday. Only thing is it was not that triumphant. While the on track product was excellent, the promotion and attendance was pathetic for a race that HAD to return to the IICS calendar by many critics opinion. If it HAD to be there, then where were all the fans? A lot of fans that actually were in attendance for the weekend said the track was more like a ghost town with some people at…
