97th Indianapolis 500 Mile-Race

Respect to the powers that be, but strongly disagree for sake of honest discussion, as subject how awful it might be,
unfortunately is part of the sport that we love.

Please reread my reply. I didn't say that crashes could not be discussed. I just see no need for a "sensationalistic" thread about "worst crashes". We have had and will continue to have discussion of crashes. We will not have threads with the sole purpose of listing and ranking crashes and posting pictures of them. The emphasis here is and will be on racing, and crashes discussed in that context are part and parcel of what this forum is about.

Because I thought it was tasteless and crass, that's why. There are plenty of other places where such discussion can, and does, go on. While I am moderating this forum, this won't be one of them. I have no issue with the discussion of crashes in the context of the discussion of a particular race, but a thread who's sole purpose was to discuss "worst crashes" is in poor taste.

I agree; there are plenty of better things to talk about other than the worst crashes ever. This is the greatest weekend in motorsports with Monaco, Indy & the Coke 600...lets talk about that!

Katherine Legge was 8th fastest today. :thumbsup:

Is it my imagination, or were a lot of seats at the entrance to turn 3 demolished?

Not bad for someone who stepped into the car very late this year!

I believe you are correct. There were a number of seats removed this year, and I think some were in that section.
