    33 cars at Indy in 2006??

    If nothing else, and we’ve discussed this before, the all Honda supply will deliver a degree of parity to the teams, which makes for close racing. AGR will not be the recipient of those huge “beat Toyota” cash handouts.

    Looked at objectively, this is a good thing for Tony’s league, although with his “vision” who knows where he could lead it.

    With a field of 16-18 cars and “equal” Honda’s under the bonnets, will this be Danica’s break through year for her first “W”?

    The publicity would be stupendous!
