Default Indy 500

I'll let all of you engineer geeks speak to downforce, drafting, negative camber and aerodynamics mumbo jumbo.....but I have to say:

1. Marco's a feg
2. Danica's a child and has no class.
3. TK is totally opposite of the above 2.
4. Sucks Graham wrecked.
5. Dixon earned the win.
6. Sarah Fisher is cursed this year.
7. Good finish for Victor

Good race today. Really bad luck for TK and Fussy Britches. I thought it was funny watching her Seacow PR person running after her on pit row. Hey, get the Seacow behind the wall!

She is fast and she has skill but please keep her radio traffic off the air and keep the microphone away from her after races. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Meira and Scheckter impressed me the most - esp Tomas who is running a car with no budget.
Danica was ticked for what had happened, and i would have probably would have done the same thing - march down to his pit and ask "what the f@#k were you thinking!"

all in all, a good race. Not great, but the best in the last few years.

I hear you. I like her fire and I think a guy running down the pits after another driver would have been cool. But a 4 foot 75 pound little brat stomping down the pit was stupid. If she really wanted to get to him,,,,,she would have.

I was going to say those two had an amazing race as well.



Total side note.. no budget is right.. Tomas with his Amex black card who tips less than a broke college kid at a Chinese buffet...

I feel sorry for Graham Rahal

I feel bad for Sarah Fisher and Tony Kanaan.

Someone should take lil Marco to the shed for what he did to those two.

The Monaco GP was more fun to watch and the Coca Cola 600 put me to sleep

Indy was good this year, nice to see a real 30-car field and a good crowd.

I got to go this year. Seats right across from the pitwall entrance crash attenuator. Thought Alex Lloyd was going to nail it for a second there! Not great seats...I was completely oblivious to everybody who slid down the wall from 4. The IRL cars just aren't able to go 2 wide at the apex. Need to bring back some level of ground effects to get it back to side-by-side again, and the Hanford Device to create drafting opportunities like CART did at Michigan. A one groove race track isn't good for passing or getting through traffic.

Sarah Fisher's spin was due to spinning her wheels on cold tires in a turn attempting to warm them up...oops....shows shes been away too much.

The speed disparity between the front and back of the field created the situation for TKs wreck. Moraeus, Lazier, Milka Dunno, and Marty Roth were all rolling chicanes!

Great weather though...didn't sweat at all getting back to the car 3 miles away!
