with it being Sonoma, I wasn't expecting it to be the best race in the world. But it wasn't terrible. Pags & Newgarden at the end with the pit strategy was fun to watch. Remember though, could always be a worse track (cough CoTA cough) |

Hopefully the last finale at Sonoma. Really glad for Newgarden though! Very cool |

So happy for Newgarden, the race was pretty tame but that was ok. |

Maybe it's coincidence, but there seems to be a fairly significant amount of past Indycar drivers who now have wineries. (EG: Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt, Jimmy Vasser, Scott Pruett, Danica Patrick, and a example of someone who has had better success as a winemaker than a driver, Randy Lewis...)

I've been to AJ Foyt's winery in Indy. It's actually really nice. Great wine, great atmosphere, and they have one of his show cars from '91 or '92. |

if I drink wine while watching a race in Sonoma is quite possible I fall asleep before lap 3 |

The track is really uninspiring. Unfortunately I fast-forwarded my recording. |

The track is really good, has all the features I like, sudden elevations, dusty, uneven, grass/gravel. I'd rather see a finale be at a proper drivers track esp with 2x points to play for, than at a Fontana or whatever where the chances of getting caught up in a freak deal is higher. |

It's a better track for sports cars. I.e. ALMS |

The NASCAR track (with the short cut from turn 4 to 7, and the longer run without chicane at 9 + harder braking point at 11), would improve a lot the racing at this track. |
