Lola, I wish the days of the old Smokey Yunnick "Sidecar" and the Mickey Thompson's, Andy Granatelli's of the racing world would be allowed build their cars again. That's what Indy used to be about, innovation.

Current or past. Should anyone be allowed to build an indycar for the 2012 season as long as it is safe and doesn't hold up traffic too much?

Hello and thanks for reading! My favorite race car? Do you mean currently or of all time? Currently it has to be the Brawn-Mercedes in Formula 1 that's the talk of the racing world. Of all time, the Foruma 1 cars of the mid-70s with their huge airboxes and "tea pot" scoops. I loved that era when I was a boy and I still love it when I see the occasional racer with the air boxes above the roll bar.

I'd love to see the turbos back. It has an unbelievable sound and it's an era I worked in so it brings great memories.

As for track, I'd love to see Road America and Laguna Seca back and get rid of Sonoma. Sonoma's not a bad track, but LS is just a better overall facility and fun to be at. I'd love for Michigan to come back as well as Phoenix and perhaps Cleveland.

Thanks for asking.

What is your favorite race car? Should turbochargers and diesel engines return to indycar racing for 2012? What tracks should the IndyCar Series visit for 2010? Road America? Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca?
