Simmons tags the wall...... What happened to all the cars? Where's duno? :confused:

[EDwardo]

I'm sure that the princess blames her car for 17th!

[opinionated ow]

i clicked on that live camera thing earl has...tried to take a screen shot, but it wouldn't work. not a soul there. nobody at all.

[emjaya]

Where's Marty? :confused: :) :gomer:

[mapguy]

Where's duno? :confused:

Probably searching for something in your pants??


:D


POW!

[RTKar]

Japanica :rofl:

Not a good place for someone who can't set up a car. How many laps before she's "lapped"?

[Don Quixote]

Princess doesn't even have to set up the car, they have a 4 car superteam that is factory supported. Since this is a drivers's track, do you spose it could be driver related? No, its the team's fault. She is being forced to drive someone else's set up that doesn't suit her style. Once again, Pincess is clearly blameless. Thank you. :p

I like to have a little mystique, ergo keeping my pants on.

Now you mappy, on the other hand:

Duno wouldn't even have to look. She already can see you ain't got nuttin she wants. Hell, she can see you ain't got nuttin, period. :rofl:

Nice storm heading toward the cheezeheads. Dumped a lot of water on me. Unfortunately, it appears to be a short storm...

[pchall]

The IRL at MKE the week after the 500.

They deserve a miserable rainy race day. Cold too.

Poor Tex Manning is probably stuck with the same set-up AJ used on his dirt car at the Mile in 1964. Serves him right. If he had read the Foyt Futility Watch here at OC for the last couple of years he would have know he was entering the twilight zone.

Patrick DFL is TFF.

[Don Quixote]

Looks like the smallest crowd in history for either series. :shakehead

[cameraman]

i clicked on that live camera thing earl has...tried to take a screen shot, but it wouldn't work. not a soul there. nobody at all.

I just took a look. Why exaggerate when the truth will sufice? The main stands look about 20-25%, the smaller ones maybe 10%. Probably 8-10,000 people. Still a joke but there are people there.

[Tifosi24]

I am watching the boredom right now (glad I went to Knocked Up and missed the first part of this race) and it looks like there is less than last year's race. LOL, I love it Crapyear says a wing failure has never happened in IndyCar history, and then Tim Cindric gives an interview a minute later saying it happened it Milwaukee a year earlier. How does that bonehead Goodyear keep his job?

[Elmo T]

The two had a brief one-sided discussion in the pits, with Patrick putting her arm around Wheldon as she talked with him and then giving him a half shove as the Englishman walked away.

Who do you put your money on with that one? :rofl:

[Methanolandbrats]

Princess would kick his ass and make him cry.

[emjaya]

Marco Andretti, who had a spectacular crash near the end of the Indy 500, also hit the wall late in Sunday's race.

Oh dear. :shakehead

[Methanolandbrats]

Marco is just practicing for Texas.

this is looking like the EARL of old.:thumbup:

I didn't post that when I was looking at it. When I was looking at it, it was during the Saturday practice session, and the grandstands did not have one person in them-at all.

[Insomniac]

Danica is certainly enjoying the fact that she's a girl lets her get in others' faces and put her hands on them to no consequence.

[Don Quixote]

I bet PT could take her. :gomer:

[Peter Olivola]

Looking down from the roof during the IPS sessions there were a few scattered fans. It wasn't completely empty, but it was sparse.

Sounds very much like the Saturday turnout for the Champ Car weekend last year. I came to the sport right at the time of the split, but after watching highlights from the early 1990s, I can't believe how Milwaukee could go from standing room only, people knocking down the barriers, to maybe 25% capacity. What took 10 years to destroy might take until I retire to build back.

After having gone to a road course and an oval race last year, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that road course weekends are infinitely more exciting than oval races.

Without a doubt, especially when at Milwaukee there was one race on Saturday and one on Sunday. Go to almost any road event not run by NASCAR and there will be on track action all day, Friday through Sunday. Even Wo0 will give you 5+ hours of heat races, dashes, mains and feature races

Granted the IRL isn't charging much (TFers claiming lots of free tickets) buy 2 hours of action late on a Sunday afternoon isn't that much of a draw.

you'd have thought they would have run the USAC short track guys....oh, hold on....

[Winston Wolfe]

maybe Danicle and DannyBoy could have a shoe fight - god knows they both would have plenty of ammo in their closets.... along with that weird collection of sunglasses they both seem to be wearing all of the time...:rolleyes:

[Chief]

Whatever happened to Danicles diaper-busting hubby? If a wet Ashley Judd can thrust herself on-track at Indy why can't this boner doctor throw a limp wrist at Shoeboi in defense of the Princess?

We should thank Bobby for taking her to the earl. :laugh:

No kidding. At some point, one of those guys is just going to haul off and slug her. :rofl:

danica should have backed out. case closed.

[Methanolandbrats]

Dan should offer to buy her implants. That would smooth things over between them.

The two had a brief one-sided discussion in the pits,
How do two people have a "one-sided conversation"?

That red & white team is my favorite - where to I buy a "Team Penske" to show my support for their sponsor? :tony:

[Insomniac]

They didn't want to write Danica yelled at Dan. :)

[Andrew Longman]

No kidding. At some point, one of those guys is just going to haul off and slug her. :rofl:

I don't know. Dan seemed disinterested in even hearing what she said. The body language barely acknowledged her.

Loved his comments that he understands she must be under a lot of pressure with "her not winning and all while her teammates are". Gotta admit that was pretty cheeky.

I didn't watch the race. Did the IRL cars run two different lines through the corners as CC used to? Some drivers, Andretti especially, would run it like a diamond with a very high apex and more laptime in a relatively straight line. Others would take a low apex and treat each end as an arc. Is it possible DP and DW were used to taking different lines?

[Sean O'Gorman]

How do two people have a "one-sided conversation"?

I wasn't confused, it sounds like every "conversation" I've had with a woman. ;)

[RichK]

Is it possible DP and DW were used to taking different lines?

It looked to me like she was focused on Dario's car on the inside, and didn't think at all about Wheldon on the outside.

Then she forgot to turn as stated above. :laugh:

[oddlycalm]

If a wet Ashley Judd can thrust herself on-track at Indy... If they had a wet see-thru sundress contest with movie stars at every race I'm guessing they might get a lot more folks to watch. :laugh:

oc

[Methanolandbrats]

A good chunk of the IRL driver lineup would probably like to wear sundresses. :)

[TKGAngel]

Didn't Danica have a physical altercation with Jacques Lazier in an ambulance awhile ago?

The sad thing is that the IRL outdrew NHL Game 4.

[Methanolandbrats]

The sad thing is that the IRL outdrew NHL Game 4.People had to buy the hockey tickets. Race was free, so it's not a fair comparison.

Ain't that the shizzle. :saywhat: I've gotta stop watching these niche sports like racing and hockey. :(

Talking about the tv ratings.

[Methanolandbrats]

Talking about the tv ratings. Oooops, any oval racing will draw TV viewers because many Cab fans sit on their couches nearly comatose and watch it. That will always outdraw a real sport.

[Ed_Severson]

No kidding. At some point, one of those guys is just going to haul off and slug her. :rofl:

Ya know, Wheldon takes a lot of flak around here, but the guy actually has a fair amount of talent and is one of the very few drivers in the IRL that I have some respect for, because he just wants to win and he rarely does anything stupid.

Quite honestly, woman or not, I was really hoping he'd just punch her in the face. Repeatedly.

[SurfaceUnits]

It was just two girls having a disagreement, that's all.

[Ankf00]

[Chief]

Ed, she's got immunity against being beaten, she's the world champion 4th place finisher......TMS already is promoting the rumble on their website....where the "IRL takes flight at night".

Last square-off at Texas was the slapdown of Arie Luyendyk into the pansy beds lining Victory Lane back in 1998, by none other than Sammich himself. IRL LEGEND Billy Boat was stripped of the win and USAC was fired for the scoring screwup. Weldone vs. Danica couldn't even come close to that excitement in the present IRL androgyny series.....the men are loving men and the women can't tell the difference between either.

Now, I could see AJ backhanding Danica though....go Super Tex! Geez, Aj could be the last masculine figure in the gIRL. You go Weldon, swing that purse!

[SurfaceUnits]

they were showing the danicle stomp on the sports shows tonight, while dan was dissing her.

[Gnam]

I would never hit a woman... but I'll sure as Hell shake the **** out of one! [/chris rock]

Maybe Weldon and the other boys should start wearing wife beaters around the paddock for protection.

Yeah, ESPN was covering it quite a bit yesterday. Around the Horn, on PTI twice, Sports Center.
