As Kastein says, I assume there's a centrifugal clutch on the crank snout, also lol front bank ram-air, and I assume there's enough gas in the tank to assure one death. I mean I'm impressed and I love it, but you wouldn't get me within three feet of it.

Lol what?? Yes replacing the Chevy engine in the Ford coupe with a brand new Ford engine is quite whacky! What a surprise! No, no we won't mention the supercharger we'll just never speak of this again.

I've only been to Indy for MotoGP which brought in like 60,000 and that felt like a lot of people even though vast chunks of the bleachers were vacant. Every single seat in the house is full in that photo.  Probably took two days to get all those bodies in and out.

I was at Daytona when they broke the attendance record for a prime time event, I forget the number but it was crazy, took forever to get out of that place I should have just slept in my car.

It holds 350,000 people officially. You don't appreciate it until you are there and realize the straights are over a half mile long. Here is a picture that helps with the sense of scale.  And yes that picture is legit.

I mean the massive crowd makes sense for the 500, strangely the thing that weirded me out was the golf course plopped right there in the infield. Never thought of it, but I guess what else are you gonna do with all that terrain if there's not track on it.

Just looked at Indy on Google Maps... ummm.. where the gently caress do they park the cars for that many people? There is not much parking outside of that track, it's mostly houses and stuff.

Like literally anything other than a golf course. I'd rather have a mall in the middle of the infield than another loving golf course.

There is not much parking outside of that track, it's mostly houses and stuff. A lot of those houses sell parking. There's also infield parking. Still doesn't seem like enough, but there is mass amounts of parking. Probably mass amounts of busses/shuttles too.

The golf course is just there to brag that they have a golf course.

There is not much parking outside of that track, it's mostly houses and stuff. Parking in the front yards of those houses for a few bucks is a tradition nearly as old as the race itself. Also there are several large fields to the north/northwest around the Coca-cola plant that hold a lot of cars/campers.

There are also a number of parking lots for the race that are not used any other time, so they're just open grass fields. So, yeah, pretty much any place a car will loving fit gets a car parked on it come race day, doubly so this year. You see that reddish blob right next to a couple golf holes in the infield? That's the Snake Pit. People crammed in as close as they can get for a concert in the middle of the race. They pulled off the crowd control nearly flawlessly this year, despite moving pretty much the entire population of Anaheim into the racetrack and back out again. I think enough people heeded the warnings to get going early so it just wasn't an issue getting in. Getting out, well, they hosed up the shuttle buses and didn't have nearly enough, but everyone else got out fine.

I get it though, seems like a waste of space on the infield, just to say "I golfed at Indy!"

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:ooooooh you can streetview it https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@39.8...!7i13312!8i6656 There are so many good viewing spots at Indy too. Coming down that front straight, the bleachers contain the sound a bit more and it's so gloriously noisy as they cross the line. Everyone's flat out and the seats rattle and it's just the best. If they're on the infield course, the mounds are great too because you get to see lots of cool cornering. Then they open up into the back straight and it's great noise yet again.

This is correct. This car should be in every car geek's pantheon of cool poo poo. P1800 and a wagon with THAT rear window. The ES is for EcStasy.
