You consider "vaguely related to IndyCar" to mean "<em>strictly</em> related to IndyCar," apparently. I consider it to mean "I'm quite free to talk about GIGANTIC, MURDEROUS BIRDS OF PREY PATROLING THE NEW ZEALAND SKIES and other such obscurities if I'm so inclined." Feel free to NOT read it. I thank you for your patronage, as well as your kind words. I don’t know what to tell you, Mr. TheKarter. You consider “vaguely related to IndyCar” to mean “strictly related to IndyCar,” apparently.

This is an IndyCar website, right? Continue the good work. I usually enjoy the articles on TSP (including this one), but enough with the football references already.
