View Full Version : The Foyt Futility Watch -- Sonoma Edition
The Scene: Sears Point -- the site of Dan Gurney's last champcar win in 1970 -- now thoroughly Brutonized to NASCAR standards. The IRL, once more thinking itself beyond comparison to other four wheeled racing series, is running the motorcycle circuit. No changes in course configuration from last year since Milka "Moving Chicane" Duno is not entered.

Sonoma. They've got Foyt!
The 3 day weekend starts at 1 pm ET. How the gomers must shudder. :cool:
I just checked in on P1 some 25 minutes into the session.
Tex Manning P3 !!!
Of course, he's some 3.5mph slower than the Penske and AGR 'wagons in front of him, but that's an impressive start for Tex in a Foytmobile. I wonder if ol' AJ will ever be able to figure out what the difference is between his shop and Penske or AGR, besides cubic ¥en?
45 minutes into the session and Tex has slipped to P7, but is still in front of Mr Ed (P8), Princess Permapout (P9), and --- not last but still least -- IV ! (P11).
As the session begins to draw to a close, things return to Foytility Normal.
1 D. Judd 107.391
12 Princess Permapout 104.427
15 Mr. Ed 103.924
16 Tex 103.801
17 AJIV 102.542
I'm already arranging to send "Good Luck and Dog Bless" cards for them at Estoril next year.
Yours in :tony:
As the session draws to an end:
1 D. Judd 107.391
13 P. Permapout 104.472
15 Mr. Ed 103.924
16 Tex Manning 103.801
17 AJIV 102.542
Nothing to see here, people. Move away, move away. Nothing to see.

Dario must have the spinner this weekend. He has nowhere near the talent of the roadracing princess. :gomer:

Poor Tex. Even his slowly receding talents and quickly receding hairline are no match for the lack of engineering and insight about road racing at Foyt Racing. I'm looking forward to their enterance into Grand Am.
Sham is not the man on road courses. Penske will send him to NASCAR to compete with Michael Waltrip sooner than we think.
Don't cry for Ms. "I don't want to learn how to road race" Fisher, gomerfans.
Man, are those bottom three "wankers". The reality is they are the young hopefuls of the IRL. Future looks bright....:laugh:

And that doesn't even include part time wankers Duno and Roth. And guest wanker Chesson.

Spin and continue by #8 Scott Sharp.

Single car qualies like this must make for riveting watching on a road course.
:rofl:

I always wanted to be a "guest wanker."
:D
Stick a fork in Princess Permapout. She won't even be able to win 4th place today.
Lap 63: Danica Patrick stalled it in the pits. She is away after a costly mistake.
2007-08-26 17:15:15
Lap 68: Yellow for contact between #26 Marco Andretti and [the leader] #27 Dario Franchitti in T2. Marco went off into the tires.
2007-08-26 17:22:07
Andretti the Least hits Franchitti while exiting the pits. Franchitti continues, but has front wing damage. Will Andretti the Lesser give hi him a post race paddling?

Tuned in for the last few laps. Those things are slow, sound like **** and are pigs under braking. Unwatchable.
Lap 73: Full course yellow for contact in T11. #22 AJ Foyt IV was involved with #8 Scott Sharp.
2007-08-26 17:32:00
The IRL is a ****ing joke....they let Kanose be a rolling chicane so Dario Judd can get points. Old man Hornish has a legit reason to get his *** beat again...
Hokey racing series. AGR self implosion again....
Results
1 S. Dixon
3 D. Judd
5 S. Hornish
6 D. Patrick
12 Tex Manning - 1 lap
13 Mr. Ed - 1 lap
15 AJ IV - 9 laps
17 S. Fisher - 52 laps
Marco Andretti has managed to knock his teammate out of the championship lead. Mikey is blaming Dario Judd for the accident! Even the IRL radio announcers call it "a unique perspective". :rofl:
The Futility will continue at Belle Isle.
Is that Wynona or Mrs. Dashley? She's getting chunky on that pit wall....
Mr. Judd has brainfade again....hahaha. Maybe AGR should put 4 more cars out there to thake themselves out of the chamionship even more. Hhahahhhahahhhaha! :D

I'm all for every man for himself, but I don't see the problem with a teammate protecting another teammate. I didn't see it, but was he blatantly blocking or doing a good job keeping people behind him even though he could've passed Franchitti?

COMPLETELY blatent. It was all they talked about for 5 minutes.
Then all the dribers commented on it afterwards.

He looked like one of those a-holes who hangs out in the left lane of interstate doing 66 mph.

I'm sure it was blatant. But was he blocking, and the IRL didn't care or did he just do a good job holding people up too scared to force the pass?
Kanaan is a gutless liar, they showed in-car of him lifting blatently for about 15 laps... He should be banned forever, I guess barnfart is scared of him and pizzing off team honda.
He'd blast up on Dashely and then brake test the guy behind then gas it to get away. the leaders sprinted away 15-20 secs over the last 8 laps. Dario owes barfart and dashley some manlove tonight.
