I am not a big Earnhardt fan, but what a race he drove that day. The race was the best I could remember in many years. Texas The 2000 season in auto racing really started on the last day of the 1999 CART season with the tragic and senseless death of Greg Moore.

Jr. Although Tony Roper s death came from different causes, it was still unacceptable.
Safety needs to the number one priority.

My first experience with Formula One is an event that I'll never forget. Until the USGP at Indianapolis, I had never witnessed an F1 car in action. I couldn't believe how fast the cars could accelerate and brake. Their amazing capabilities were accented by the sounds emanating from them.
