Entry List..

Another fantastic entry list. Let's hope we get 30 000 in the grandstands. I really, really want this event to be successful. I love Milwaukee, it is my favorite oval track in the world, the best in the world (with Indy) in my opinion.

Good entry list, Good Circuit, Coverage I can actually get... and of course as usual Im going to miss it thanks to a company cocktail party

.

About the success of the event, it wont matter if it sells out because we can always rely on the crappy brigade to post shots of empty seats. Id prefer Road America, but because of traffic and difficulty this is certainly one of the best ovals in the world for open wheel cars, personally I like it a lot more than Indianapolis.

Jonerz · 17 Jun 2011, 17:43

Yeah, I prefer Milwaukee because the drivers have to drive the car. Indy is great, but it needs a formula where the drivers do more than just back off the throttle occasionally.

I'd love to see the whole ladder system racing at Milwaukee, the weekend after the 500. Make it a fairgrounds atmosphere around the circuit and have constant action on the track.

I'm looking forward to this classic race. It'll be interesting to see how Will Power fares after his first oval win last weekend; his confidence must be up.

Tis indeed a classic circuit for Indy type cars and should have never been removed last year.

Will Power looks like he has gained some confidence on the ovals...look out.

Weather forecast for Milwaukee looks rubbish, lots of rain and even thunderstorms headed forecasted for Milwaukee on Sunday.

That could put a dampener on things but I hope not.

Just read a tweet from Graham about waking up to rain, but looks like the storms are moving away from the track.

Milwaukee Radar

but I ain't a meteorologist.

Hope they can get it in.

The track will be green whenever they get it going and will make for an interesting start.
