August 1965 Foyt puts his Mekowski-Offy on the pole at Milwaukee. Will AJ take his lead mallet to the #14 Dallara-Honda and pound in the right set up for Jeff Bucknum forty-one years later?

Stay tuned for Fultility Updates all weekend.

Inverted field?

[TKGAngel]

Maybe Sammy's still bumfuzzled from his meeting with POTUS this week?

[FailureByDesign]

Maybe Honda assigned engines by whose the biggest bitchers and whiners this week.

Nah. Its just that Mikey has promised to stay by FTG's side and hold his hand for him, and keep the little princess in his league so Tony can remain delusional.

Presumably at the vet's. Look above and note that he's fixed now. :gomer:

I guess AJ forgot his mallet this weekend.

The reason for the light attendance: Free prostate screening being offered by local hospital.

Final Practice

17 14 Bucknum, Jeff D/H/F 23.2390 157.236

7.5 mph and nearly a second a lap slower than P1.

The only slower driver was Briscoe in the D&R car.

[pchall]

Lap 199: Yellow for light right-side contact in T4 by #14 Bucknum. He has stopped just past the S/F line.


Five laps down when this occurred.

Briscoe and the D&R entry made 13 laps before calling it quits and accepting the payout for DFL.

Yes, but your not factoring in the terminal velocity generated by the wings. In this hot weather, if you take the drag co-efficiant and the dew point into effect, the IRL car is actually faster. Under intense timing and scoring, and of course physics, I have determined that the IRL car is actually faster due to the driver having to "lift" off the throttle. Trap times for the IRL are somewhere in the 312 foot per second range. This bodes well when calculated with the time it actually takes the human brain and foot to press the brake pedal. Factor in this reaction time, and the IRL is actually faster than the Champcar

in earl, drag coefficient has a whole different meaning altogether.
