My Name Is IRL

As enjoyable as IndyCar racing is there's always room for improvement. Not that anyone is asking me, but here are just a few ideas off the top of my head:

• Finding a fiscally viable way to return to historic ovals in Phoenix and Michigan
  
• Having pit assignments based on something more dynamic than points standings
  
• Adopting names like soccer teams, such as "Arsenal", "Juventus" or "Penske 1812"
  
• Ripping "the knob" off to deter passing-free festivals of fuel conservation

I know these are all simply nutty ideas that will never be implemented, but...hold the phone! What did Honda Performance Development Technical Division manager Roger Griffiths (and yes, that's EXACTLY what it says on his driver's license) just say?

"Right now, we are in discussion with the IZOD IndyCar Series to remove the fuel-mixture switch from the car completely. This would make the driver responsible for controlling the amount of fuel consumed with his or her right foot."

Excuse me while I repeatedly pound the "OMG!" key on my laptop.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
