| | CD's CD's -- Clan Depictions -- 2001 Champ Cars at TMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Keep in mind that Champ Car's Chief Steward, Wally Dallenbach, had visited TMS and decreed that it was unsafe for Champ Cars, and maintained that position, but Rahal over-ruled him. |
 | | Bobby never sent any cars to TMS to do testing before or even after his decision, and indeed the only two pre-race tests at the Speedway were done privately by the teams and occurred in December and February, when track and air temps were far lower that they would be in April. |
 | | The race was canceled because the Champ Cars were so fast on the high banks of TMS that the drivers were under CONSTANT 5+ "G" loading for the entire lap of the track, and after a few laps their blood started to pool in their legs, just like what fighter pilots experience. |
