INDY 2000
Pete, 
The Indy-CART thing has been going on for some time. I don't really know the specs of the cars, but Indy is just standard NASCAR style gor round in circles type stuff. CART racing is huge in Europe - I'm not certain, but I think that Mike Schumaker makes more money than Mike Jordan. Anyways, Nascar sucks, I don't care what anyone says. Indy is a little better I guess, and I'm sure you had a good time there. Where the hell is thesuck.net getting money to send your ass all over the place anyways? I know your Learjet is reserved for your personal use. I'm sorry to hear about Yeah! getting cancelled. It was a great book, but DC has plenty of "The Invisibles" to push on everyone. I got the last issue the same week Ball Aerospace fired my ass. Oh well. Cisco There was a lot of talk about Formula 1 making its debut next year at the Indy raceway, with a slightly altered NOT go-round-in-circles race course. As if I care — unless the latter means more crashes, in which case I'M THERE! As for Suck.com's "deep pockets": all I can say is you should have seen the truckstop motel we stayed at (the lady on page 4 who dropped something on her ass was the motel's manager). Peter Bagge  Hey Bagge! I loved your piece on the Indy 500. That was funny as hell and pretty true to life too. Next time it might be even funnier if you try taking some minorities with you to the 'races'. See what kind of reaction you get then! Add some color to the last bastion of trailer park trash crackery in the good ol USA! k.Allen Flynn &rt;k.flynn@worldnet.att.net> The crowd at the Indy 500 wasn't as nearly as Caucasian as I thought it would be, and a lot of the drivers themselves were Latin American (including the winner). Still, I did consider of asking one of the few black fans at the 500 "what's it like to be black and at the 500?", but that may well have been the only racist comment that person might have heard all day, so I kept my mouth shut. Plus, unlike your typical small town demolition derby, The Indy 500 isn't very redneck at all for the most part. It was rather yuppyish, in fact. Peter Bagge oh sucksters... what the heck is going on. one day's suck just brought up the previous weeks (i believe you sent [me at least] the 11th's column out on the 18th--and never corrected it) then, yesterday some recycle from memorial day and the INDY 500?!?! without labeling or warning. and it was a really lame piece anyway (i mean why lose sight of your irony for the indianapolis 500, ferchrisakes) whats up with that? or maybe your just not aware that your delivery system also sucks of late. hoping you care, Jon Dohlin Well, John, for the knee jerk irony you seem to prefer, I'd suggest David Letterman, who is still into that late-'90s (actually mid-'80s) irony for irony's sake stuff. Sorry, but the minute Pete and I set foot in Indianapolis we realized the city was irony-proof and hardcore Face Value on everything it served up, like the locals who stood for every flag in the Memorial Day parade (including one made up of a giant red, white, and blue parachute carried as a giant skirt by over fifty red, white, and blue clad girls) and who then didn't bat an eye when a the |
