Out of the car and on the stretcher. Will be a while before we race more.

diffey just said no serious injury apparent from initial check, will go to hospital for more thorough diagnosis but very good news

Real late caution going to bunch up the field for the finish. Grosjean in the wall.

grosjean in the wall. 

edit: red flagged again.  this race will never end.

Red flag. They'll have just a couple green laps or something when it restarts.

Holy crap, Power's car won't restart and everyone passes him.

Now we see if Ericsson can manage to hold on for his first win.

Just finished yesterday's race - holy shit, that was eventful. 

I predict that Will Power is going to be pretty froggy today. 

Totally unsurprising that NBC cocked things up again and now it seems that we've missed the first half of today's race. 

pato is pretty fast

Yeah, he's a real treat to watch. 

And RoGro is kicking ass at social media. I really hope he finds long-lasting success in IndyCar.

Indy may have to go the IMSA route and stream everything themselves.

Anyone know what this is? 

From the Vintage IndyCar "race" at RoadAmerica this afternoon.

Kellett has locked it up badly going into Turn 5 twice in a row to start practice - I predict calamity for him and whoever qualifies a spot or two in front of him at that spot on lap 1 tomorrow...

Silly Ed Jones. You don't belong there! 

We usually sit at Turn 5, but this year we opted to watch from Canada Corner (Turn 12) - nice change of pace. We had shade, a good view of the track, and a good view of the Jumbotron. At Turn 5, you either get shade or a view of the Jumbotron, but not both... 

We arrived a day late and left a day early due to weather, but had a nice time while we were there. The vintage cars might have been the coolest part though - I need to go through my photos to sort out the best ones, but I'll post them soon.

That's a weird and ugly car, but I respect it for being different.  I miss the old-school days of open wheels racing, when innovation flourished.

That was the best part of watching the Indy 500 as a kid. It was like watching HotWheels cars come to life. 

The wings are odd looking but that turbo I-4 in back looks seriously awesome. Hopefully it doesn't suck up any of the marbles that come off that rear tire. Also, the inboard brakes on those old open wheelers looks so funky.

You know, on second viewing, it reminds me of a Rebel X-Wing.

So I retract my statement that it's "weird and ugly" and will instead go with "incredibly awesome" for its description.

This is what I miss about Indy from my younger days. You never knew until May what was going to show up at the track. Lotus running next to an Offy next to a turbine.

That is a seriously awesome car.

Here are some of the other miscellaneous pictures I took from the vintage paddock. I have a bunch more of them on track, but they're of varying quality and there's a shitload of them, so it might be too much hassle to go through and upload them, but if people are interested, I can. 

The purple #56 was one of our favorites. If you look closely, you can see the brush strokes in the numerals...

Post everything that you have, please.

ETA: The Marlboro livery gave me wood.

Edited by Shoxthemonkey

CSB alert. When I was a kid, there was a guy that lived next door that built dirt track cars. He had some family that would visit from time to time from California. One of those visiting kids, named Rick, was my age so we would play baseball, hide & seek, whatever was going on with the neighborhood kids. We were hardly close, the neighbor moved away and I never gave him another thought. Until Indy 1978 and my Mom informed me that Rick Mears, on the front row, was the kid I had played ball with. I became a fan and naturally became a Penske fan as well. Hence my Marlboro fascination.

Yeah the March 86C in that Marlboro livery-- wood.

And the McLaren BUD car cracks me up.

And then... DOMINO'S PIZZA! Avoid the Noid, baby.

And a few of practice, qualifying, Indy Lights, poopsucking, etc.

Bad news, everyone. 

Two races only on Peacock, as well as all practices and qualifying. 

I would pay a competent streaming service $100+ for the season but I won’t pay NBC a goddamn dime.

Nashville street circuit at 4:30 today.  Watched a few clips of practice and qualifying and those transitions onto and off of the bridge don’t look fun.  Those two bridge straightaways would be awesome DRS zones in F1.

It's very narrow. I cut cable and can't watch it but I predict a lap 1 red flag.

Listening to radio stream and it's been a train of cautions and now a red flag.

It’s a shitshow.

 It was at the start, but I thought it turned into a good race.

Will Power is a fucking menace. Dude doesn't belong anywhere near the inside of a race car.
