I was planning on going to Gateway, but I also recently quit my (good paying but unprofessional shitshow) job and am trying to find a new one to keep plans on track.

Feels Villeneuve posted:the best Menards look was the one-race-only Cingular Wireless/Menards car I keep wondering if Robby had won in '99 how big of a victory that would have been for the sport, and John Menard himself. I mean the guy looked like he was a rising star in the mid-90's and like he'd be a possible championship contender in the PPG series. Finished 5th in points in '94, and '95 against a fairly good field with decent equipment in Derrick Walker's car. For the rest of his CART career (full time) it felt like he got saddled with an ill performing Toyota engine and the last Eagle.

Robby was a good driver but he was too wild and also too much of a loudmouth. I think it was Elkhart Lake '96 where he essentially said Ford's engine was poo poo after blowing yet again on live TV.

Sounds like just what people were clamoring for back then. i'm just curious how he'd have done in a Reynard-Honda- Firestone package. Maybe Tracy would have been his contemporary in that regard.

Apparently Hinch was/is racing other drivers in Mario Kart during the downtime, but I can't get the facebook live stream to play. *edit* Updated session times: https://twitter.com/IndyCar/status/873224546303737857 Bentai fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jun 9, 2017 |

Kills me Alonso is stuck with a real shitbox in F1. Dude's an asskicker and really needs to come over here. He flashed an INSANE amount of skill tackling IMS, and WILL get his face on the Borg Warner if he comes back full time.

PT is saying there might be pack racing tomorrow. I'm hoping the differences between the turns allows them to spread out a bit. https://twitter.com/indycaronnbcsn/status/873264780794003456 No live TV qualifying coverage. Bentai fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jun 9, 2017 |

Can't watch the stream. The app doesn't support Sling TV as a provider. Bastards.

I mean I've seen quite a few Diablos in NEOhio for some loving reason, but I don't think they're exactly a "brand" in the US that really advertises itself.

Wirth1000 posted:Wow, really? Lamborghini wanted to get in on IndyCar as a engine manufacturer? That seems so.... odd. Ford has some inbred grandson of Henry Ford mucking up the works. He loves Bruton Smith, SMI, and NASCAR. He hates IndyCar and Formula 1. Went on some unhinged rant about it once. (Not like his nazi sympathizer grandfather was at the first "500" taking pictures and his family's company is pasted all over cars at the IMS museum. no sir.). I say this as someone who does like Ford quite a bit. It sucks.
