Indy Weather....

[Turn7]

I sure hope that the race isn't delayed or postponed due to weather. I don't want any excuse to be bantered around as to why there were so few folks in the stands or why it only pulled a .xx tv rating.

This is the first year that the faithful are starting to get a little light shinning on their faces and its dawning on them that they have been had. It will be a wake up call to all involved in the sport that the last bastion of IndyCar/ChampCar/Open Wheel racing in America is in a deep pile and what they are doing is killing it not helping it.

No excuses, let the truth be shown.

Some rain tonight and tomorrow early.

Big ass storm should be here about 4 on Sunday.

Sounds like they'll get all the wrecks in.

The True Believers don't need anything as solid as rain to make up an excuse.

It's not looking good.

They're screwed either way. A lot of the people who are still going or watching are going out of habit/tradition. Anything that breaks that habit will mean an even smaller audience next year.

Hope the weather's good on sunday, want to go to the lake for some 60' cliff diving... would hate for rain to come down

:cool: Have fun. We used to do the same in college outside of Gainesville, FL... at least until the rednecks started shooting at us.

I'll be backcountry snowboarding down a 14,000'-er I hope to summit, but my folks are at the race. For their sake, I hope they get the race in on time as they are flying in for the weekend.

If they weren't there though, I'd be all for hail, cats, dogs, et al. race after race, power failures in the broadcast booth, (spic) e-coli juice in the potato salad, hammer-inflicted self-mutilations, all manner of trivial failures, a few big ones, a DEA-raid on the pagoda, public flailing - followed by a ritual sapaku carried out miserably resulting in an interminable death-like state of nightmares and guilt. :)

God is really pissed at Tony George !!!

Is Tony Hulman whispering in God's ear to get that little bastige!! ;)


Just leave the rest of us out of it ... Please ! :eek:

I hope the rain holds off, too. I'll be spending the afternoon chasing after a stupid, little white ball. Screw Indy. I gave Rahal's HQ the one-fingered salute as I drove by this afternoon.

So that was you!! I was doing the same thing and noticed another person next to me on 270 giving a Rahole salute also!! :D :thumbup:

I actually did get tears in my eyes today, I watched a little of the Legends of the Brickyard and started to get misty, remembering how great it used to be... :(
