I have a few pics that I took at Indy this month, and donated a couple of them to the cause. Let me know if you'd like some more Indy / IRL pics. I also did a little bit of editing. Twohlford 20:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikification

Just needs wikilinks added for F.Vauxhall and a few other series. I'll probably get around to it, just not tonight. Guroadrunner 06:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abbrevation confusion

I'm not seeing it, much. Enlighten me. --Chr.K. 05:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about any confusion - maybe there's some variation in the abbreviations used across the series. Not sure what Twigboy's question is but those abbreviations above stand for (respectively) Miami, Surfer's Paradise, Long Beach, Nazareth, Rio de Janeiro, Gateway (Illinois), Milwaukee, Detroit, Portland, Cleveland, Toronto, Michigan, Mid-Ohio, Road America, Vancouver, Laguna Seca, Fontana Jsydave 08:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My question is, how is the reader supposed to know that?—Twigboy 17:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link them? More code and might get a little messy, but it would enable a reader to click for understanding. I don't think there's room in the table to give full names. 4u1e 11:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Franchitti is from Scotland, which is an administrative subdivision of the United Kingdom, in the same way that US States are subdivisions of the US. If you are going to list his nationality as Scotland, then you should list Sam Hornish's nationality as Ohio. --rogerd 23:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The statement that Scotland is a subdivision of the UK in the same way that US states are subdivisions of the US is wrong. Even the official website of the UK PM recognises this, referrring to the UK as a union of countries. Some research before making sweeping statements would be good.

Agree with lurker, your statement makes no sense. Mbr1983 (talk) 20:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your statement is ill-informed and absurd. I'd insult you but I can't. --Arrows98 (talk) 12:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soccer Team

Hearts and Hibs are not is Local Football teams. Edinburgh and Glasgow are about the same distance apart, and even thenLivingston FC, Motherwell FC and Falkirk FC are all closer to whitburn, so its easier and cleaner just to say in supports Celtic. Mbr1983 (talk) 20:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life
