Pit Window is Back at Milwaukee

[Insomniac]

The Champ Car World Series announced it will restore the mandatory "pit window" rules that were in place last year for next weekend's Time Warner Cable Road Runner 250 at the Milwaukee Mile. The pit windows mean that teams must stop to take on fuel and four new tires at specified intervals during the race. The intervals were put in place to force competitors to run without regard to saving fuel. The pit windows, which are currently slated to be in effect for the Milwaukee race only, will be set for 59 laps for the 250-lap event, which runs under the lights on Saturday night, June 5.

"We have learned through our experience that the use of pit windows works exceedingly well for us on oval tracks," said Champ Car Technical Director Lee Dykstra. "Milwaukee is a very important event for us and we want to ensure that the fans get the most competitive racing that we can provide."

Smokin' the Penske Lights? I quit when they left Champ Car, now I smoke Herdez salsa. Not quite the same, the paper gets all wet. :gomer:

[Tim]

Look I was drinking High Life way before I was old enough to drink. It is better than Miller Light and a good beer to get if people are gonna mooch off of you.

I wouldn't expect to see PTP at Milwaukee for some reason. Just doesn't seem safe. Who knows.

I think "dunno" is Spicoli. At least I hope thats who it is, that way I'll know who to look for when I prepare to get my ass kicked at Cleveland. ;)

[Warlock!]

...and a good beer to get if people are gonna mooch off of you.
How the Hell would you know??? Everytime I've seen you, you're the one doin' the moochin'... ;)

And yes... Don't know is Spicoli. And he's much more burly in person, Sean...

;D

Warlock!

[Ankf00]

I don't think there is a term for how far off track this thread is. Not even Lavin can get this far off track. ;)

Fresh haircut. :gomer: :shakehead

And Sean - I won't be in Cleveland, so you are safe for a while. But - as Warlock said - I am much more "burly" in person.

Not "rocket" burly or "Warlock!" burly, but a much more sleek, physically fit, conditioned, good looking, smart and charming burly.

If I do say so myself.
