You are going to enjoy listening to the race on the radio, much better than the ABC TV crew.

They are running 9 degrees more rear wing, and balancing it out with the front wing, than a typical qual setup. They also have a .125" wing gurney on, down from .250" from this morning, but you will not have gurney on for qualifying. There are also gurneys on the exit of the underwing, probably .100" to .125" due to…

HA! I will if I see him this month. But the last I heard, he was running the AA VWs in GRC. They will probably have those guys running one of the other AA cars this month.

Halfway through ROP3 and there all in the 219s, typically rookies are in the high 217s if they are good.

He’s pinching off the exit of 2 too much, but thats to be expected. I’ve been told the wall at the exit of 2 comes up at you faster than any other wall on the planet. And that comes from a 500 winner and F1 veteran.

Sure, I don’t mind answering questions now & again.

OK, so the first stint was at 11am. Glad they got some laps in, gonna pour here at 2pm. If it rains in Terre Haute, it will hit the Speedway in 90 to 120 minutes.

Don’t be surprised if he does get on track until noon or later. The ambient temp here in Indy tomorrow won’t break 50 until noon, as per Weather channel and WeatherUnderground. Firestone will not let a car on track below 50 and is very uncomfortable under 54 or 55 degrees ambient.

Unfortunately it looks like he lost both legs below the knee.

A 996 Turbo headlight is currently $2475 new per side. So these must be around $67299 per side......

This is seriously one of the post post I’ve ever read on Jalopnik.

As a student at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA, in the early 90's, I worked for a local SCCA prep shop. We did a lot of carbon and fiberglass repair for local racers in IMSA and SCCA. We got a call from the owner of a local mexican restaurant that pretty popular in town. He not only had a Lancia Stratos…

$85K to $105K now. PCA website lists one or two a month around $90K, but one just went at auction at $105K plus commission.

I was an Indycar mechanic for just short of 20 years, and my favorite tool were my Snap-On Flush Cuts, or True-Cuts (sorry, the part number has worn off). I bought these in ‘95 and I never lost them, never needed another pair.

This is actually a great idea, I’ve always done it when my Tundra is in the air. Even the narrowest of Tercel wheels will give you 4" or 5", might be the difference when a tie rod is trying to enter your eye socket.

I think there might be a set available in the UK. Sounds like they were only run once, for a short time, after a full restoration. Might need some light cleaning and polishing.

Same.

A typical driver contract was 40 - 50% prize money, including pole or lap prize money, and the pace car. But Rossi brought money, and his number was lower than the other Andretti cars, so don’t be surprised if his prize money percentage is lower than 40%. He also has to pay for his own insurance, which I’m sure his…
