2011 Indy 500 -- 100 Years

Sscottfitz · 05-29-2011, 10:54 AM

Probably my least favorite race of this 2011 "Three Race Day", but still significant that they've been holding this event for 100 years!

Restarts promise to be interesting today -- drivers not fans of the double wide start -- fans are -- looks like IRL listened to the fans....

Cool opening by ABC! Well done....

SPOHN · 05-29-2011, 11:47 AM

The opening was great. I always love how they go threw the history of the track.

Sscottfitz · 05-29-2011, 02:23 PM

.....I'm getting the impression that his is going to come down to a fuel mileage race -- oooops, yellow flag...........nevermind........

Would be cool to see Servia win it but we will see. Still a bit of racing left to go and Dario looks strong.

ouch

m4a1mustang · 05-29-2011, 03:14 PM

what a rookie mistake

Red__Zed · 05-29-2011, 03:15 PM

that will break your heart every time

MC · 05-29-2011, 03:16 PM

i cant even imagine how that would feel.... i just cringed so hard sitting here on the couch.... god ...poor kid

m4a1mustang · 05-29-2011, 03:17 PM

Yeah. Damn. He had plenty of lead to just back off and ease through there... Last corner...

Red__Zed · 05-29-2011, 03:17 PM

word. No need to even get close to your limits...

Sscottfitz · 05-29-2011, 03:18 PM

What a heartbreaker -- must of lost either air on the nose as he passed the lapper or simply lost concentration.........interesting finish......

SPOHN · 05-29-2011, 03:24 PM

He had no business trying to pass with that lead

Sscottfitz · 05-29-2011, 03:27 PM

OK, now for a REALLY long race!

phelan · 05-29-2011, 03:37 PM

omfg what a heartbreak for hildebrand! was a very daring move to try passing on the outside with that lead, didn't pay off.

did dario go into like...super duper fuel economy mode or something?
