Must be a colder day than usual there, huh DF?
No wait, is it that AA can't come up with a set-up?
Power .3 faster than P2, very impressive. Any news from the session, I didn't watch. Why are KV's cars so slow? They tested there and were close to pace. Actually, Moraes has been off pace at all 3 events so far. Either he's lost it or KV is putting him in a tub that has been overstressed. Something is up because although the kid was reckless last year, he was quick.
I am just shaking my head. Un-freakin-believable. Thanks AP, THIS is the story???Quote:
Patrick: Want Exciting Racing? Pay Close Attention
Apr 9, 3:55 PM (ET)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -Danica Patrick doesn't promise she'll treat fans to an exciting performance in the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.
Then again, she also advised them Friday to pay close attention to the more subtle strategies as they play out in Sunday's race.
Patrick has the most recognizable name - and face - driving at a venue in NASCAR country, where Earnhardt is the big name in racing not Andretti. Her picture has been rotated around the city on three billboards for months ahead of the event, one encouraging locals to "See Danica Drive."
Patrick seemed to relish talk of the nuances and strategies of racing at the road course when questions veered from her celebrity status.

Look at the bright side, Danica will be leading her own parade...albeit behind 20 other cars up track of her.Quote:

The course in itself is spectacular. Watching IndyCars around Barber is a pleasure so this time I won't care too much if there isn't a lot of passing. By the way, I wonder what goes through the minds of Ryan Briscoe and Helio Castroneves these weeks.
Bertrand Baquette
Who is this???? There are 25 cars out there. I thought it was supposed to be 24.

Is Danica secretly being farmed out to Coyne or Conquest this year?
Guess you missed this thread, even though you replied in it ;)Quote:
