Indy 500

[IndyAndy]

68 passes for the lead - basically twice the amount of the previous record for Indy.

IMO, this shows up a flaw in the current design of the oval package on the DW12: If you are out front, you are a sitting duck. Hopefully Derrick Walker gets right on that one.

Green - White - Checkered? - Bite your tongue.

Was the Ana Beatriz 'engagement proposal' L) broadcast over the network airwaves, or was that 'special moment' reserved just for those of us sitting in uncomfortable silence in the stands?

I took a bunch of pics with my 35mm camera (not a top-end job, but certainly better than a cell phone camera). I'll sort through them & post the best sometime tomorrow or Tuesday.

I agree Andy. Nobody could really pull away and nobody knows that better than Andretti Autosport!

BTW, the female participation "experiment" had mixed results. Beatriz and DeSilvestre finished the race and Legge and Mann didn't. Not bad but mostly a mixed bag.

I'm happy for Kanaan. It's a well-deserved Indy 500 win.

Just found this:

Here is the starting line-up:

I'd say that there are twenty-one (and they're not all in the 1st seven rows) guys with the right combination of experience and a good team behind them to have at least an outside shot at winning.

If Montoya and Sato ever get close to each other they will cause a crash LOL

those two are reckless drivers.

Why is Indycar.com such a slow site? every computer I own takes for ever for that site to load.

I'd like to see Marco Andretti finally break through this year and win an Indy race for the Andretti family.

It's managed the way they manage restarts.

They like everything bunched up. It's more exciting that way.

I hope. I have been a lifetime Andretti and Earnhardt fan, so I would love to see one win.

Nice lick by Kurt Busch. Man these guys are flying. There is NASCAR guy in the cockpit. Don't tell he can't handle 220mph+ when he gets back to NASCAR. Another reason why NASCAR should remove the engine restrictions.

 

[Retroram52]

This is going to be tough to pick the podium of this year's race. I am leaning toward Andretti Autosport but don't count out Will Power and Dixon.

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take Hunter-Reay to win it followed by Power and Andretti.

 

[IndyAndy]

I'll take Andretti, Dixon & Pagenaud

So far, the weather forecast for tomorrow is perfect: Sunny, low 80's.

 

[Retroram52]

Sounds great Indy!
