IndyCar Laguna Seca race weekend thread.

It looks like it's Peacock again for everything except the race on Sunday which will be on NBC.

Peacock is a really good value. I only use it for IndyCar and occasionally motocross, but it's like $5/mo. pays for itself during 500 practice/qualifying alone

 

for those of you stuck in the past

Hardly totalled...

"Everything went well until he came down to pit-in, and he said the pedal was hard, but the car wasn't slowing down," HPD media official Dan Layton told IndyStar. "The brake pads must have glazed over or something. It hit hard, hard enough to set the airbags off, but (the drivers) were fine.


HPD already had three models of its pace cars on-site, so they won't have to scramble to procure an emergency car for the weekend. They'll just have to swap over the emergency lights onto whichever white-and-red Type R that's now bumped into the starting role.

"It's the hood and the front grill (that were damaged)," Layton said. "It doesn't look like it got to the tires. It's all body work."

On the subject of pace cars, Curated is getting the 1995 Lamborghini Diablo VT (#12202)
which was used as one of the CART PPG pace cars as driven by Kellie La Follette, Johnny Rutherford, Mario Andretti and a certain P.L. Newman.

Dixon OK to play wingman for Palou . . . . if he can't win the championship himself, that is.

When was this? I may have pics of it from 1995 New Hampshire race.

The images we've been able to source from Kellie La Follette and Dan Boyd were mainly from Portland,
Phoenix and Long Beach.

We'd be happy to see anything you may have!
