[edit] September 11th reference
I don't really like the sentence "Ironically, the race was the only sporting event to take place after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on America, dispite pressure to have it postponed."
Can we changed this sentence? I don't find it especially ironic that an Italian was injured in Germany following attacks on American soil. The sentence also uses Lots Of Capital Letters for No Particular Reason. Instead, can we just put the exact date of the crash in there? (I'm not sure what it was.) If you feel the September 11th date comparison is useful, it could be put in as "days after" or something. In short, I don't find the idea of comparing dates invalid, I just don't think it was done in the best way possible.
This is just my opinion, and I'm definitely willing to discuss it, which is why I posted to the talk page rather than just doing it. :) --Steven Fisher 03:03, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- The new version (not written by me) seems more balanced. --MartinUK 19:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stuff
I've heard Alex has more CART podia than anybody; can somebody confirm & include? Trekphiler 05:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe more in a season or in succession than anyone else, but I doubt he took more in 3 competitive seasons than guys like Michael Andretti or Bobby Rahal did in a decade. --MartinUK 19:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
