Here I am reporting from the World Capital of Auto Racing- (OK actually I'm in Carmel, not far from the Capital), and I wonder (every day) why in the world can't the Indianpolis Star scrape up some breaking news everyday in Indy racing. Now you will say that's because there is no breaking news. I disagree. The Colts fired Mr. Mora and everyday there is something to report. Bill Polian sneezed and that was a sign he's going after a cold weather coach. Tony Dungy was seen heading in the general direction of an airport... oh he must be interviewing with the Colts!
NASCAR gets a plug nearly everyday for something, even if it's not worth reporting. How many NASCAR teams are based in Indy? But right here where Indy car racing was born, in the namesake city for crying outloud, where we have the Mecca of all motorsports, where most of the Indy car teams' shops are located, Curt Cavin and his associates can't find a story.
When I was 7 years old, I met my dad at the door every evening to find out if he picked up that part I wanted for my bicycle, even though two days earlier he told me the thing was on back order for two more weeks. Now 43, I'm still a sucker. Every morning at 6am, I get up and walk down my 150 foot driveway, pillow-head and all, to get my Indianapolis Star to see if they have anything worth reading in the world of the IRL. On the way to the mailbox, I tell myself, don't expect too much- if there is any news, you've already read it on Trackforum and so did Mr. Cavin.
Mental note to self. 1) Sleep in longer. 2) Call Mr. Cavin and tell him to pull himself away from the Internet and start making the rounds to all the IRL shops to see what the heck is going on, like journalists used to do.
