" You know hundredth anniversary is coming up front just -- I think I get to know wire audience you folks go on surprised me last week's martic proposed a one rule for 103 anniversary Indy 510 gallons of fuel peremptory. Haven't we ask for rules you would like to see and I kind of thought I would get a moderate response to that there will be about equally split between some serious alternative fuel and propulsion proposals and hate mail for people who think it was bolted down into -- politically correct trivia. And I was surprised to receive almost as many emails. As we gotta talk Kyle Busch -- the guitar I was however shocked by the number of you who made it you want the -- opened up to encourage all cards that in relation. We're post and want your response is on the your win total page street duty Dutch job and bell pulled out examples -- on the show for a take a lesson from a ball biodiesel we can go green but do not have to play -- nor is over the PA says -- Already don't proficiency some drew put some hybrid hydrogen or electric power plants and on limiting fuel on a sliding scale through the first couple years. We went to the moon in 69 certainly we control our worst our alternative -- and I energy racing engine and a couple of years -- current can't teach you know -- assume it is. Golf course holds -- horrific formula you start the race -- X number of calories BTUs jewels et cetera electricity gasoline Al called diesel -- Hydro or whatever subject only to physical size and safety rules left the best car win Paul Newman -- all. Such short porch of course called designer won the most successful in -- combustion racing engines ever Cosworth so. How about the responsible opposing view. Turtle combustion engines on the way to go go get mart Ford F 150 ES PT lightning. When they pry my cold dead fingers from the steering wheels -- as black people. Except the -- well respected motor head no doubt and to a total politically correct trivia were were up four. Racing does not -- while -- harder with a save the planet -- peddling his self righteous little solar wind alternative energy Ford powered contraption around the greatest racetrack on -- the object is to go faster. Not greener. Says BS or sixty programs -- ignores the fact that it's been. 013 years since Indy cars actually went faster. -- and I covered -- qualified -- back -- 1996. -- let's get another viewpoint -- and flooded Baltimore's you to -- this discussion not because he sent me an email -- but because of his many -- what to -- has been -- race fan oriented. Race reporting feel understands racing -- understands -- raced -- want out of bracing. And worked out. Bodes joins us live from Indianapolis and Wal-Mart from local Doctor -- shelf why do you think it's a good idea of for the Indy 500 to embrace new technologies alternative technology why does this make sense to you where."

" I think for the very reasons that Bob Marshall was talking about. At LaMont and then you know that. The relevance of the thing it's been years since. You know other than in the month of may had a race fans think of Indianapolis first when he thought of -- race you know it's such a NASCAR oriented world that day in it would be nice to think that. There's some more along the line you can almost shocked them back in the thinking of Indianapolis first when Marino when you said auto racing. And I think you also because it this might be the one time where you could get. Politically people on the left and people on the right you know because. Green is coming whether we like it or not whether it's from an environmental standpoint or or from the standpoint of not planning on foreign oil. So you know there's no time like the president I think to at least start working on -- your own you miles per gallon."

" The solution is the answer has to be saying but it's it's another step in the right direction absolutely a starting point for discussion you know the fans do do they want. Technical innovation or there while Carson drove fast make noise. Pass each other often enough to be interest and ideally on a last lap and Danica Patrick Carroll argued with a -- torture read on the quarter million or so folks who show up there every Memorial Day."

" Well you always hear people in every series talking about the good old days of good old days you know. This year the Indy 500 I thought it was a pretty good gracious so. I think them the best years of the speedway whether it was their cars not converting to roasters. Or when the turbine car came in -- aerodynamic. Advances started taking place. That seems to me that the most interest in that race. And and racing in general with with John Q public was always and we were making big strides technically."

" And innovation. You're email said to me -- C -- this is a quota three putting boring to formulated or didn't. Our national energy policy. For so many years. A little more forward thinking we would already be running bio diesels or other alternative -- fuel and propulsion systems at the speedway. That this was an interest in part because I suspect racers would've ended up leading the charge ahead of the road car manufacturers. Isn't that what this really all comes down to try to make relevant racing make racing a relevant to public activity again be on its entertainment value."

" I think so and I think that if you know I think if again there had been a really serious push toward alternative fuels are green fuels if you will. Racing would have taken it as a sign that may be needed to run scared a little bit and to protect itself and in enough. I think racers have tended to take the lead on almost everything automotive anyway. The end you know if only to protect their own -- I think they would of the we will have seen some fascinating. Energies even now I mean I was reading had to take three of four plane flights this week it was reading about. Bill leader. Who is famous for developing the Learjet you know among other things. Working out of steam powered IndyCar in 196080. Try to get part really did drive and try to get Jackie Stewart to drive it. They were talking about this thing having a thousand horsepower and incredible Clark now. You know steam engine car 1968. And then once that thing went by the boards because he lost its funding. You know when was the last time we saw really serious head turning innovation that didn't involve. You know an aerodynamic device which people can relate to."
