Friday Morning Warmup: Goodbye Old Friend

O Dallara!

O Speedway Aero Kit!

O how you have made the cars fast.

Ugly you were derided when first debut'd

With chopped airbox and awkward bumper

But lo! How the wind tunnel changed thee.

With thy merged bumper and endplate

That gave thy shape a Batmobile flair

And allowed thy speed to increase

To over 230

At the Speedway

The temple of thy gods

Lotus, McLaren, Penske, and Lola

O sad day!

The last we shall see thy form grace a track

For in the season to come

Honda and Chevrolet will determine their own shapes

To achieve speed and glory

Few are those who shall miss thee

But count my being as one

For thou hast given us

A most intriguing IndyCar look

And has provided us with the moments

Of Kanaan's 500

And the Duel of Hunter-Reay and Castroneves

So fare thee well Speedway Aero Kit

We mourn thee with sadness

But look to a future

Of great speed and beauty.

Thank you.

Good morning, SCOMO. Can Will Power not crash tomorrow night?
