In the opening practice for the upcoming crapwagon race at Montegi, Scott Dixon proved once again that he is the "Iceman" by smacking the wall. This time he broke his ankle. (http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.asp?id=26808&s=18) Tomas Wreckter also stuffed it into the wall earler, probably distracted by thoughts of where he is going to go trolling for hookers after practice. Sam the Sham wrecked a Penske tub when he had trouble trying to find "the pin" on his steering wheel. Also Tora Takagi hit the wall. He was taken to the local hospital complaining of neck and back pains....

4 crapwagons trashed and it is only the first day of practice.

The kid can drive, he was so quick in the F1 stints and I believe he would/could have done better in Champ Cars if he wasn't taken out (Tony) and didn't have to play follow the leader behind Bruno but this is ridiculous. :mad:

From TSO

"Accident in Turn 3 and 4 involving Scott Dixon and Tomas Scheckter. Two separate crashes happened within 3 seconds of each other with both getting loose in the same spot.

Severe damage to both cars. They were not near each other. Dixon got out of the car, then sat down favoring his right leg. Stood up again, and then sat for a bit with the medical crew.

Scheckter has already been checked and released.

Dixon is still being looked at.

Scheckter radioed his crew that he was slowing down for Dixon's accident and believes he may have hit some oil."

AND

"Turn 4 has claimed four cars this afternoon, and three of these cars hit nearly the same spot on the wall.

-----

Sam Hornish, Jr hit the wall coming off of Turn Four when his car pushed up into the wall. Spoke with Sam after he walked out of the medical center, and he indicated that the car just got a big push which he had never experienced.

------

Tora Takagi's accident was in the same spot as Dixon and Scheckters. His car swapped ends and he hit the wall very hard rear first. Preliminary indications are that he is OK, but did look a bit woozy."

So, Brickman, you're implying that it's the track's fault? Would that slippery spot be leftover residue of C^RT mismanagement? Sounds a lot like the baseball-mitt had a hole in it.

Anyway, I have the solution. Mandate a higher wing angle, and lower the setting on the rev limiter. Adjust the racing to match the talent envelope; that is the IRL way, isn't it?

If it is IRL/C^RT dogma that the fans cannot tell the difference between 240 & 220, why worry which IRL/C^RT wanker is 4 mph faster? All real racin fans care about is side by side action.

It's a Honda track and they are utilizing a bit of James Bond technology. Honda has embedded small diameter tubing that is aligned vertiacally with the track suface at the entrance of turn 4 in an array. It is the size of a crapwagons track width. As the leading drivers for Toyota and Chevy approach the area the tubing is hit with very highly compressed air causing the tires contact surface to lose contact with the pavement, resulting in the crashing of the competition.

Honda is determined to win this weekend and is pulling out all stops.

It is part of the continuing NASCARization of IndyCar racing. Lord Tony is a Bill France/NASCARboss wannabee, so if NASCAR drivers have nicknames, then by golly, IRL=C^RT drivers will have them too. Paul Page is the TonyToadie tasked with shovelling them out to the Gomers.

I disagree.

Sometimes simple solutions work for complex issues. I don't think snagging is an issue, would be if they used other materials, and changing out the density of the foam for different series is logical.

The answer to all of the above is 'no'.

Dig up the jokes Delaney. I haven't seen one and I didn't interpret Cart7's as being a joke, just a sad reminder that the IRL has serious flying car problems. There isn't a double standard. The Champ Car deaths were unfortunate accidents involving unrelated causes. Death and racing have a history that spans all series. The IRL on the other hand has a known safety concern that has lead to pain and suffering and thankfully no deaths...yet.

No. He died in a champcar that flew over the wall and out of the park. It wasn't funny.

Yep. They have a problem. No question. But it ain't funny.

Don't think champcar is immume. In fact, almost every time I've seen a joke about an IRL driver getting hurt, a champcar driver has been next. Almost makes you believe in karma, doesn't it?

I'm really sure every joke about an IRL driver's injury is yielding a champcar injury... yes, karma in action :rolleyes:

I don't like the fact that some people make light of the danger IRL drivers face, especially when they're switching series and suddenly all the "hope your back doesn't break" cracks come out, but cart7's comment wasn't one of those.

In case you hadn't noticed Delaney, I posted no smilie or rofl with my post. Since last April, 6 cars from the earl have gone skyward. 1 driver died, another came inches away from the same fate and Mario was just plain lucky. I sat and watched in T4 as Wheldon's car suddenly went airborne and landed on his head and I don't buy that crap about him climbing the wall cause that ain't what I nor everyone around me saw. Lucky for him he had scrubbed and banged 100mph off his speed or he'd possibly have met the same fate as Tony. The answer to all those airbornes was denial from the league that there was even a problem. In fact, they went so far as to insinuate that Tonys death may have been caused by a dead seagull or driver error. Since no one from the earl has ever admitted to a problem, it's just as likely that it could happen again.

So, I'll rephrase that line since it seems to bother you so much.

At least no one wound up in the catch fencing. :shakehead

That comment has no more class than the other one. Why feed fuel to the fire? Drivers are dead regardless of if it was in a fence or how they died.

Drivers deaths are unacceptable even though they are aware of the danger, even though the danger is expected.

The only thing worse if fans deaths... at least only one died would be an equally asinine comment.

See, you've forgotten about Renna already.

So you're admitting that Renna's death was the result of a known safety concern that the IRL had failed to do anything about?

It's fair enough to object to black humor as a way of calling attention to the IRL's abysmal record of ignoring safety issues in pursuit of the Joey Chitwood thrill shows they call racing. But what have you been doing to draw attention to the issue?

I see nothing from you here objecting to the IRL's history of denying obvious safety problems until something disasterous happens. I see nothing from you objecting to them ignoring escalating speeds or deliberately creating the kind of pointless pack racing that everyone who isn't obsessed with phoney "wheel-to-wheel eggsitement" recognizes as an invitation for disaster.

Are your objections here really anything more than a lemming crying crocodile tears?

How do we know this isn't the real Michael?

just curious

anyhow, while I'm never comfortable with the injury jokes I don't mind at all discussing serious safety issues.

The full length wicker is a real world cure for the sideways self-launch that put Renna in the fence, but they still haven't addressed the lift-off that Mario experienced.

Mario's problem was created by the too large front wing extended way out front on this latest generation. But you can't cut the front wing down because it has to balance that barn door hanging off the ass end. And if you cut back on the rear wing then you lose the moungo draft that creates either the "greatest racing in the world" or a dangerous and repetitve "thrill show" depending on your point of view.

I think the repulsive thing about the IRL's aproach is the fact that Barnhardt and Nation are both on record saying there was no problem while behind the scenes the debate was on how they could cure the problem without calling for a complete overhaul of the formula.

So they taped a Gurney down the middle, dumped an expensive re-engineering project in the manufactures lap and then proclaimed themselves forward thinkers.

Here! Here!

Accidents happen, not all engineering specs work right out of the box. But to deny the truth is simply WRONG. In my opinion there was plenty of evidence that showed a clear pattern. Comparing any 2003 accident to the IRL Atlanta "Big One" where cars didn't score 9.0's is enough proof. Bad PR not being forthright and honest. IMHO bad judgment.

Did anyone notice it and complain? Is WB aware?

He became aware. He deleted three of Bert Backracked posts... a simple member search gives you a flavor of them.

so me registering an alter-ego as Optimus Prime or Colonel Sanders is out of the question? :(

I think he meant it's wrong if someone else registers as Ankfoo, or something similar to your name, to imitate you.

No you (http://www.zebracar.com/halloween%202001.htm) or Keith may not. ;)

Brick, I've determined that you're needy, but I'm having a problem deciding what it is that you need. Is it,

1) Glasses?

2) Validation?

3) Release?

The question posed by Railbird and responded to by NRC concerned 'identity theft" as opposed to cheesy posts.

Just trying to help. ;)

Thanks... went simply right over my head. I was still the other subject.


Hey, remember the cheery Christmas jingle about "deck the fence with chunks of drivers" that one of your literary geniuses posted here awhile back?



Yes glasses. This pair got scratched up bad during the kitchen remodel, can't find my good ones and I'm just screwing up left and right. Thank god for over draft protection... and your input. I needed them both.

I'm just guessing here, based on the content and the posting style, but I'm gonna hazard a guess that "Michael Delaney" was yet another alter ego for Doc Austin, on a crusade.

Greetings from the wiseazz formerly known far and wide as "Michael Delaney". I want to make it clear that the guy posting here under my old handle is not me.

I've lost my taste for online "discussions" so I don't post anywhere anymore. But I want to assure you that this guy here is not me.

To all of you, I wish you the best in 2004 ...

... and FTG.

Thanks for clearing that up, though 'bird figured it out pretty quickly. Looks like the Boss did too: member profile (http://www.offcamber.net/forums/member.php?userid=392)

I don't remember this guy from 7G but he seems to have the right attitude. :thumbup:

He didnt waste his time at 7G. (no pom poms would be my guess) He posted at SpeedNet from 97 thru 01
