I want the most deserving to win, career wise. Your riddle today: who based on his form during his heyday was, more than all he beat, prevented from winning because of how the US single seater scene evolved earlier in his career? Hint: the Speedway bit him hard in recent years so he truly deserves it more than anyone on the grid. Awaiting your guesses
a great-and fast-field with lots of deserving story lines. if you saw the action from Carb Day you know we're in for a wild one hope it's fun, safe and a great show.
Dixon. Forecast is for temps in the mid-60s and 0% chance of rain. Sounds like its going to be a glorious day. BHW
Rooting for Stefan Wilson. He was my coach at Ferrari Evolution and Challenge schools and will likely work with me during Club Challenge events. Great kid with a tough history at Indy.
Lots more and aeroscreen will save at least one life. I don't want any yellows but with the expected traffic pattern, i.e. tons of hairy action I think they are likely. Also since I will be having dinner during the race they will allow me to run into the kitchen with my tray. Here's to a safe exciting one!
Awesome, have blast(and post a few photos if you can). Raise a glass in honor of the late, lamented Turn One Lounge on Georgetown Road.
Thank you Rooting for Bourdais Pagenaud, Felix and Marcus my four compatriots as well as Juan Pablo, never count him out...and it would be very nice and truly historic to see "Helium" win his fourth. So with almost a quarter of the field I have a 25% chance of success!
