You mean the turbocharger.  The new Indy car engines have a deeper 
sound for two reasons:  (1) no turbocharger muffling some of the 
noise; (2) they run at lower revs.  Personally, I think this is an 
improvement.  There's something thrilling at a visceral level about 
the roar of a big, normally-aspirated V8 engine.

    Meanwhile the Winston Cup boys are going to tuned exhaust crossovers
    so they have the old indy car sound - a high pitched whine.

When I first read the title of this note, I thought it was in reference to
Bob Varsha and Danny Sullivan being the commentators for the 97 season.

Not having to listen to Paul is good news!

I never minded Paul Page, but so far I think Tom Sneva is a 
refreshing improvement over Bobby Unser.  Varsha and Sullivan ought 
to make a pretty good team.

If Varsha's doing CART broadcasts, who's doing F1 this year for ESPN?
