How high is your ladder hoop?
Because that's a mighty high horse your posting from!
What may not of seemed relevant at the time sure does now .... On the time sheet in question both were near the bottom .... And here we are on Monday and neither made the race ..... I'd say there is in fact some relevance ...
Now whether you and Gary want to acknowledge it is another thing all together
the gap between P1 and P33 is 4.336 mph which to me looks pretty tight.Quote:

It's not high at all Ken. On another time sheets PT was number 2. People that race for 40 years or 5 years know how this works. Nothing smart or high, just what it is.Quote:

I put some biscuits in once at 325 and burned them and that means?
nada, means nothing as did PT's time at that time.

Not sure what go tell ya hoop...
Two racers are at the bottom of a time sheet .....2 racers fail to qualify
seems to me there is some relevance there..
Clearly from way up there the view is different
Clearly from down here, with us racers, like PT, the view is pretty similar...Quote:

Sidelines, pits, cockpit, racers know, I am sure it's the same in your field of expertise. Sometimes I have been in every different scenario, it is no shame you haven't Ken.Quote:

Non-racing fans, unless they are willing to learn from people like Paul Tracy and other racers, have no clue, on this topic, well you seem to want to kick Paul to the curb and claim you know better.. IMHO

Not kicking Paul to the curb at all .... He was is and remains my favorite racer
But the reality he was slow during the session in question .... And he as well milka failed to qualify ...
Am I lumping him in the milka category ... He'll no
but in retrospect his lack of speed wasn't irrellevant
clearly you disagree ...... But reality is neither is Field next Sunday ....
Sorry to but in to your argument here guys. But I've gotta side with Hoop here. Practice times don't always mean anything. Look at these times. Milka in 21st. Who's below her? RHR, Conway, Lloyd, Kanaan, Wilson, Tracy. Take out the drama with Kanaan, and just look at these guy's qual speeds, and they're all solidly in the field. So if practice times are the end-all-be-all then wouldn't you expect all of those guys to be out as well? PT (he's one of my least favorite drivers, so I really don't want to defend him) and his crew took, what normally would have been, a pretty safe gamble and decided to work on race set-ups all week. That made them slow-ish in practice. But they all figured that he could pull out a nice solid lap to put the thing in the show, which he did before pulling his time.Quote:
