This is the best thing that could've happened for the 2011 season - Bolt losing like this and having to go away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everybody talks about Bolt. Now they can talk about the ladies who are running some really wonderful times.
There have been many moments over the last year when I thought it was all over.
We literally had all 10 teams alive for a playoff position in the final week of the season. That outstanding balance and those close races created a major surge in attendance in the last month of the season.
One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.
Last year we said, 'Things can't go on like this', and they didn't, they got worse.
Everything that happened last year stays in the past.
It was sort of good it happened because it broke the ice with everyone.
We couldn't get the car back until well after the end of the race and we had very little time for repairs.
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.
I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.
