another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I wanted a Glorious Sato-San pole. :(

How did four Penske cars wind up midpack in qualifying? I would've thought at least one of Helio/Newgarden/SiPag/JPM would've been fast enough to get into the fast 9 as well.

Checking the NWS for Speedway, IN:

Sunday: "A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 78."

(Seven days is the furthest out they'll forecast because the model starts to break down hardcore after that point due to chaos theory)

Also, live stream is up:

Off topic post, but I'm very upset at the moment.

Let me tell you my Nicky Hayden story. Back in 2006, when Nicky Hayden was leading the championship and MotoGP came to Laguna Seca, the riders did promo stop in Hollywood. When they were in front of the Chinese Theater signing autographs, I handed Nicky a copy of the MotoGP '06 video game to sign—which had Valentino Rossi on the cover. He gave me a funny look.

I told him, "when you win the championship, you'll be on the cover next year."

He signed it.

He did.

He was.

I'm really upset about Hayden's death right now because he was killed after being hit by a car while riding a regular bicycle. It's one thing to go while racing, like Wheldon, Wilson, or Simoncelli. But the dude was just out riding a bicycle. It could have been anyone. Why did it have to be him?

R.I.P. Nicky Hayden.

Let's do three wide on the main straight in practice with two of those cars being in contention for the win.

Because this is awesome.

True! Also 600+ combined laps in the first 45 minutes.

He already had two blow up.

Well, ok, one blew up, and the other running into issues midway through qualifying and he still dragged it over 231.

He had an overboost warning during the qualifying run - not a mechanical problem but it does cause the computer to cut power momentarily.

The only time I saw him deviate from it was when JR undercut him going into turn 1. Then he was right back to it.
