[Don Quixote]

This is shaping up to be a turnaround season. :gomer:

[SteveH]

So before the season begins, they're already down 4 entries?

22 is just a number. :tony:

[Andrew Longman]

Interesting to see mergification didn't spare Doornbas rookie status.

Lap times are about 11-12 seconds faster than GA assuming they are running the same configuration, FWIW

[Methanolandbrats]

Milka has found some speed :thumbup:

[stroker]

I recorded the Speed Report from Sunday and just finished watching it. Those sleds look absolutely awful on that track. Slow, ponderous, and annoyingly loud. Why anyone would pay to watch them is beyond me. Thank God they haven't defiled Road America (yet).

[Methanolandbrats]

. Thank God they haven't defiled Road America (yet). That would call for guerilla warfare...perhaps jumping the fence at night armed with many pounds of roofing nails. Who is in?

[Wheel-Nut]

Where's the Americans?

The caltrop would be the ideal choice, having been the defensive weapon of choice for many centuries against cavalry attacks. Medieval weaponry against modern horsepower:

For many centuries a preferred anti-cavalary weapon, it also proved effective against infantry in Viet Nam:

Please note that the modern barbed wire caltrop would be equally effective against crapwagons and crapfans. There is even a modern timed and/or remote deployment system that would be helpful in staging assaults during peak viewing times (if there are any). Anybody who could afford a towed banner insult to Tony George at St. Petersburgh would be able to afford the deployment without even the 'significant other' noticing the bank card expenditures:

[oddlycalm]

during peak viewing times (if there are any) Right, when dozens of people are watching and hundreds more are snoring in their living rooms. :gomer:

Good all around strategy. :thumbup:


Yup, it looks like it will finally be Danica's year....:D

Wow. They used a Hitec brand servo.....that is the only application I would use one of them there. hahaha!
