I dunno how deep your pockets go, but mine are pretty shallow. Shallow-pocketed sponsors are not worth much to any sport.

I had picked the term off the indy500 web site and assumed the Indy class was a subset for F1.

I kept my eye out for Roberto Moreno's car, looking for the penguin, but never could spot it. Too bad about him crashing out so early.
