Wow.. Slightly disturbing.

undid all the good work they'd just done then

 

[Pete05]

You think you've got it hard eh? It's not even shown live on TV in the city it's held in.

That's harsh but I suspect it's so people will turn up at the gate instead.
They do the same thing here with the football.

A Gimp suit and a bath tub filled with milk..Not sure who thought that was even remotely close to being a good idea..

Always Bad Coverage strikes again

 

[sems4arsenal]

When does it start? and does it air on FOX?

 

[Pete05]

Speed?

Not sure. I don't have pay TV. We used to get coverage back in the Andretti vs Unser days & it was worth sitting up till all hours to watch it but still with 10% of the starting line up it's be good to be able to cheer on Power, Briscoe & Davison.
I remember Davison from the days when he came up to my hips! His Dad Jon was the promoter at my local racetrack.

[IforceV8]

Did they ever figure out what was causing the vibration in Hinch's car?

 

[PsuPepperoni]

98th. Has there been one ever year?

edit: guess not, since the first one was 1911

No races during WWI either, IIRC.


They said the race was going to get underway at about 12:12 IMS/US EDT time. Dunno if it's for the green flag or the command to start the engines.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Start should be in ~20 minutes according to one ESPN reporter.
So glad it's broadcasted here in Germany, no commercials too.

 

[CAMikaze]

ABC with something that should have aired in 2011, TBH.

 

[saveimageas]

Now THAT was cool

 

[CAMikaze]

Anyone with a guess as to number of yellows today? I'm thinking 4.

[IforceV8]

3 yellows and a Honda win,Simon or Hinch

 

[Mac K]

I still remember Cheever and Goodyear last year complaining about the leader burning too much fuel as if someone couldn't lead..

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

3 yellows and a Honda win,Simon or Hinch

Hinch

 

[Furinkazen]

6 yellows and a Penske to come good.

 

[CAMikaze]

Briscoe with Left Rear tire issues

ADD-IT: Taking advantage of ESPN3's In-Car Cam option here. Dunno if you have it where you are outside of the US.

 

[scarslasher]

As a note, if your ISP lets you watch ESPN3 or WatchESPN, they have about 10 drivers onboard cams.

EDIT: Tree'd by CAMikaze lol

 

[IforceV8]

Townsend Bell is +11 positions

 

[CAMikaze]

No yellow flags after 50 miles. So far, so good.
