The Month of May

Here we go.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Dammit! Sato is slow!

 

[Orangesmokey]

Slow compared to yesterday but may not be that slow after it's all said and done.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Slow compared to yesterday but may not be that slow after it's all said and done.

True. I just need to be patient.

 

[Orangesmokey]

I have a strong feeling the Chevy's are going to be the fast nine.

 

[Orangesmokey]

AJ laid down four strong laps.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I have a strong feeling the Chevy's are going to be the fast nine.

Is there a place that will explain Indy qualifying rules? I have no idea of the fast 9.

Depends.

Today it's the fastest 9 qualifiers at 6 will get a shot at one run for the pole starting at 6:30.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Depends.

Today it's the fastest 9 qualifiers at 6 will get a shot at one run for the pole starting at 6:30.

So they are running for the chance to sort out the top 9 starters? Then the rest of the field gets sorted tomorrow?

 

[Orangesmokey]

But they are also expecting more rain so they don't know if they will get to do the fast nine.

 

[Orangesmokey]

Looks like AAS is going to stay strong like that have been so far.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

What's the little bump on the right part of the wing? An additional wing element or a camera? I can't tell, it does not look like a wing element.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Ugh, Derek Daly. One of the worst motorsports commentators I have ever heard.

 

[doozer]

So they are running for the chance to sort out the top 9 starters? Then the rest of the field gets sorted tomorrow?

1-24 is locked in today. So the 10th fastest guy doesn't get to run for the pole but is guaranteed inside row 4.

:hi: Thanks buddy!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Done blowed up.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Man AJ Foyt is very fat. Then again he is old and successful, so he deserves the right.

 

[doozer]

Camera.

 

[doozer]

Man AJ Foyt is very fat. Then again he is old and successful, so he deserves the right.

And by cashing in on that right, he gets all the health risks and issues that go along with it.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Looks like the Indy online store ran out of the Sato shirt I bought, but they do have a new diecast:

Takuma Sato IndyCar 1:64 Diecast Novelties at IndyCar.com

Hopefully I can pick one up at the track. Looks like Foyt also has a shirt:

I want one!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Will Power is flying!

 

[doozer]

Power on fire.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Will Power is a damn wildman.

 

[Orangesmokey]

Glad to see Carpenter win the pole.

On the other hand Bump day was rather uneventful and yet I still managed to watch all but an hour and half of coverage.

 

[utvol0427]

So, who ya got?

Marco seems to be a popular pick. He was at, or near, the top every day in practice. That said, I'm going with Power. Hope I'm wrong.
