Well, since no one else has posted the final qualifications for the United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis I guess I will go ahead and do so.

Interestingly enough, Panis qualified third for Sunday's race. Toyota has certainly improved with the new michelin tires. I was hoping that Trulli would qualify better than he did. He might have been able to do so had he not crashed twenty minutes before he ran during Qualifying Warmup in turn 11.

Is anyone else going to the race this year? I am, and I took many pictures today during qualifying and during the PorsheCup race later in the day at 3 pm local time. Hopefully I will have some decent shots worth uploading.

Oh yeah! I think Kimi can come back and become a competitor for the title again if there are no technical problems this race. David is definatly out though.

Too bad Montoya and Schumacher are seperated. I would like to see some nice 1v1 action in this race. That would be interesting.

I don't usually root for M.Schumacher, but I actually do want him to win the titile this year. Him or Kimi. It would be nice to see someone actually win 6(I believe) years in a row.

Tomorows race definatly should be promising.

/me cries for Jaguars' dismal result.

Please get a good result M&J!

Well, I just got back from the race about a half hour ago. And amazingly enough, a Sauber came in third! It too bad for Alonso, Rubens and everyone else who dropped out. I'm planning to watch the telecast later tonight. I recorded it.

yeah, the sauber guy looked pretty pleased....
