The Foyt Futility Watch -- 6/24 thru 6/25

[pchall]

One misstep and...

[mapguy]

and what?

:saywhat: :gomer:

[Wheel-Nut]

3/4 mile high banked oval + 20 open wheel cars pack racing + one misstep = disaster.

[Al Czervik]

3/4 mile high banked oval + 20 open wheel cars pack racing + one misstep = disaster.

Eye Vee + racing car = disaster

[FCYTravis]

No, no, it's even simpler:

Eye Vee = disaster.

[dando]

He should not be racing, he should be watching it on TV.

Impressive. Worth at least 6 more talk show appearances and 2 magazine covers. :thumbup: :cool:

[Racing Truth]

No, no, it's even simpler:

Eye Vee = disaster.

Pretty much says it all. Eye-Vee by himself on the track is a disaster.

cart7: Heh, I saw that too. Heh.

[Racing Truth]

He should not be racing, he should be watching it on TV.

-Junky

:rofl:

Yes, but have you no compassion for an unsuspecting remote in Eye-Vee's hands? :gomer: Good God man, we of the male half of the species must protect teh grestest invention evar! ;)

Looks like Rahal Letterman are out to lunch in general. Scott Dixon must be wondering why he's doing this anymore.

[The Doctor]

With this amazing display of speed, the league's new poster child will finish the race about 10 laps down. It's hard to live up to expectations of finishing fourth.

[dando]

One misstep and...
You just don't unnerstand the power of 4. :gomer:

:laugh: cameraman has it right.

I don't think, given a year, she's THIS bad, but reality has set in.

[cart7]

All you'll hear all race is "when will Danica mount her charge to the front?" :laugh:

[FailureByDesign]

Todd Harris:Scott she's 15 laps down,and there are 20 laps to go,will she be able to make it to the front in time
Scott Goodyear:Your a Retard

[Methanolandbrats]

Is she wearing a white drivers suit this week? :laugh:

[JohnHKart]

My self imposed ban is supposed to start after Texas....should I record this???Ok I will...should put me to sleep pretty quick after America's Most Wanted ends around 5AM( I gig and I always watch everything on DVDHD anyway.)

I caught a little of that race. The announcers didn't pay as much attention to Asloranica. If she keeps losing races the interest with go die down

It just so happened that I ended up holding a sick baby for a couple of hours so I watched the race while I paced.

Are all IRL races like that? A yellow every 5 minutes with third of the field finding the wall? :saywhat:
