Postcards from Elkhart Lake
Still inside his Lola, Cristiano da Matta celebrates his victory.
Da Matta and Carl Haas were quite emotional at the end of the race.

Michael Andretti's Lola was touched by the fast starting Tony Kanaan and spun off at Turn 8 in the first lap.
He endured a lukewarm race and finished 10th, two laps behind the leader.

Kenny Bräck is followed by Shinji Nakano at Turn 1, under the eyes of the good attendance present in Elkhart Lake.
Although the public was not record, the grandstands were packed.

Oriol Servia had a very good race until he run out of fuel on lap 36, when in sixth place.
Note that his helmet now displays a waved Catalan flag, instead of the older "flat" pattern. I had not noticed these waved stripes on his helmet in previous races.

They don't like Penske anymore.

Dario Franchitti abandoned on lap 43, when he was in 5th place. His Lola suddenly lost power and he was overtaken by Tony Kanaan and by Patrick Carpentier.
This picture was taken right before that.

On the seventh lap, the leader Tracy is followed by Junqueira, da Matta, Tagliani and Bräck in the dive through Turn 3.

Great pics Muzza. But as a "superfan" of Oriol, I must say that there's always been some kind of wave in the "senyera" in Oriol's helmet.
Sorry Muzza, but I couldn't help it! 
In 2000 (below) the wave was forward in the helmet so it was not as easy to see. Note also the RACC (Real Automóbil Club de Catalunya) sticker.

It's Oriol Servia Day!
Dear Tanalised, Macdaddy, MolsonBoy, Neil C and Jordi,
Thanks a lot for you kind words. I am pleased to be able to convey you a little of the action and excitement of the race in Elkhart Lake.
Jordi, thanks for clarifying that Oriol's helmet alreday had la senyera waved in previous seasons. I had never noticed that.
So, what about an Oriol Servia Day?

Here Oriol is followed by Tony Kanaan at Turn 3. By mid race they run very fast laps together.
