Indy 500 starts at noon today!
FWIW, This race is suppose to be Danica Patrick's SWAN SONG (so to speak).
She's done well - nothing too spectacular far as checkered flags go, but to set goals and make the attempt:  a real role model for gals my daughter's age: a real go-getter, starting at age 16. My hat is off to her! And, then I see the news about this 30 year old dude who's parents had to sue in order to get him evicted from their house. And, the report went on to say that like this dude, the % of millenials that are still living at home is higher than any time in recent history!  GOOD LUCK DANICA! KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP!

Look for Castroneves to drink
from the "Glass Chalice" for the 4th time! Danica will be in the hunt and her winning would be neat, but it ain't gonna happen... 🏁 Keep an eye on Robert Wickens... Last edited by Mystic ZR-1; 05-27-2018 at 12:39 PM. |

Re: Indy 500 starts at noon today!
Was there any reason why the C4 ZR-1 was never used as a Pace Car?

I'm not an open-wheel guy, but what I do find interesting about this race is that the pace car is more powerful than the cars it is pacing. That's gotta be a first.

Re: Indy 500 starts at noon today!
My wife and I attended the whole weekend. Race was pretty clean until the last 50 laps. Crazy finish! After another yellow flag, there were 8 laps to the finish. The two leaders pitted with two laps to go.. gambled with fuel and lost. Will Power won (Aussie). Great guy and great family. Lots of patriotic celebrations.. we were in SW VISTA, section 10, row nn.. crowds were nuts![ATTACH]

Oh, and Danica broke loose in turn two and was out at I believe lap 67. Biggest disappointment was last year's winner was taken out early by rookie driver that didn't get out of the way.. real shame..

Re: Indy 500 starts at noon today!
Indy was entertaining this year especially with the new cars and adjustment in driving style required. The F1 race in Monaco on the other hand was unfortunately another boring parade of expensive machinery with the possible exception of seeing whether Ricciardo could nurse his ailing car home and win the race. I literally started falling asleep a few times. I really hope Liberty Media, the new F1 Owners, get this fixed and stop catering to the top 3 teams.
