2003 recap
The good: Started 11th and use fuel conservation to capture his second IRL start at Kansas City. Had three thirds in a row at Kentucky, Nazareth and Chicago.

The bad: Didn't get a chance to run Indianapolis.

Key stat: Finished 13th in points despite missing five races.

2004 outlook
What needs to be done: Nothing now as good buddy Michael Andretti expanded team to keep the 33-year-old veteran.

Key change: Parlayed substituting for Dario Franchitti into a full-time job.

Prediction: Steady, heady style will keep him near the front in a series that seems to favor Indy Lights graduates.

Your take
Will the steady Bryan Herta make Michael Andretti look good in '04?? Can he surpass his win total from last year, given more races this time around? Here are your thoughts on Herta and his prospects for the 2004 season.
