Nobody else has said it yet, so here's the news from our own Mopar Jenny:

She is going to ride in the 2-seater Indy Car at the Detroit/Belle Isle race this Sunday! Holy smokes! Jenny at 230 mph! Woo-hoo! That's our girl!

WOW! :scared-eek:
VERY cool! :handgestures-thumbup:

Photos...gotta see this.

My wife and I will be at both races this weekend !!!
My 1st BIG race....I CAN"T wait.

Can you believe it? The race on Sunday was cancelled-- not postponed, but cancelled!

No race, no ride in the 2-seater. Phooey.

I believe they only cancelled Qualifying

All I know is that the 2-seater ride was cancelled when they decided not to run the race. Didn't want to take chances with a passenger. After all that talk about cancellation I am amazed they ran the race at all. Illiteracy must be more rampant than I thought. When did they run the race?

As scheduled

I watched both events in their entirety, and was disappointed when they didn't introduce and talk to the lucky passengers of the two seater by radio, which is usually the norm for those broadcasts. No races were cancelled. Yeah, the weather kind of screwed up the weekend for the entire event. I remember that happening when I attended the first IndyCar Meadowlands Grand Prix, in NJ. Some poor guy wadded up a beautiful Lotus 19 during the Vintage Sports Car support race in the Sunday morning rain. I believe the year was 1984, Bobby Rahal won the IndyCar race. I attended all the following NJ events, until the event was dropped from the schedule after about eight years or so. This past Saturday's Detroit race started out as a bit of a crash fest, Sunday's race was more entertaining, in my humble opinion. -- Ernie :>)
