Are both you guys looking at the same race?

Practice, the field covered by one second. 32 to 33 seconds
Qualifying, the field covered by one second. 20 to 21 seconds

A ten second difference for everybody? That does not sound right.

Yeah, I saw that. I grabbed the T&S report for quals.

Looks the EDo's numbahs are from the MIS race. Tin tops are @ MIS this weekend. .1RL is @ PPIR.

Excuse me while I go shower now.... :gomer:

I pulled stats from indycar.com. Apparently they had bad numbers posted and corrected them after I copied them. 10 seconds is just a time increment!

21 A.J. Foyt IV (14) 48 laps 22.0595 163.195 5 24.1478 149.082 38 D/C/F Handling

I guess ol' AJ left the lead hammer back at home. He clearly didn't get the set up right today.

19 Ed Carpenter (20) 9 laps 21.7634 165.415 160 24.8703 144.751 216 D/T/F .

The Call will come @ Fontucky. Mark it down. Desperation will be @ full tilt by then. :gomer:

-Kevin

[DaveL]

Speaking of ol' AJ, this one comes from the "He didn't think this one through too well" file.

AJ broke his contract with Ta-yota to go to Chevy. Chevy is gone for next year so he has no engines. This means he has to go back to Ta-yota if they'll take him, or try to get engines from Honda as if Honda would want their name on that schlock outfit of a team.

Good thinking AJ.

[cart7]

Huh.... what.... I just woke up. Who won that snoozer?

[dando]

Huh.... what.... I just woke up. Who won that snoozer?
Whoever the guy is that won the 497.5 this year....Dan Kanaan or something like that. :gomer:

I guess ol' AJ left the lead hammer back at home. He clearly didn't get the set up right today.

The air isn't quite as thick up in Colorado as it is back here in Southeast Texas. Poor ol' Sammiches brain doesn't work quite as well at altitude. . . . or maybe the bee stings still smart and he couldn't sit down to think . . .

[G.]

Whoever the guy is that won the 497.5 this year...
Danica finally won?? :eek:

[JohnHKart]

You guys are great..........I'm reading this in a college computer lab and I'm about to make a complete fool of myself im laughing so hard.

Sadly, the Infineon Foytility thread will be lacking IV. Grampa is sticking Jeff "Buckman" Bucknum in the car instead.

[Jervis Tetch 1]

It's great to know that Quatro finally has come to the realization that he SUCKS as a driver. That's why he's pulling out of this race.

[Fio1]

Result shall be the same, no doubt.

Not really! Jeff Bucknum is a GOOD driver. :)

[pchall]

Not really! Jeff Bucknum is a GOOD driver. :)

And Bucknum says:

"With my knowledge of the track and A.J.’s experience in setting up Indy cars, I think we’ll be able to get a good balance on the car and ultimately have a good weekend. I’m thrilled to be driving for him and I’m looking forward to working with his ABC Supply team.”


:rofl:

[Wheel-Nut]

Has anyone seen an entry list? If so, is Arie Jr. entered?

[devilmaster]

And Bucknum says:

"With my knowledge of the track and A.J.’s experience in setting up Indy cars,

:rofl:

he may be a good driver, but he's got **** for brains.

Even Harris and Goodyear were commenting on how they didn't have the engineer this past weekend, the one that got them the top 10 the previous week. If HE comes back for sonoma, then maybe bucknum will do decent.

[Winston Wolfe]

now THAT is a stratgey for the Foytility team to employ at this furrin devil road racin' thang.....

Qualify well in the back (no problem there!) and wait for the "Big One" in T1 on the first lap (cuz these guys are gonna know that you wont be able to pass on the track in these "equally prepared" road goin' PIGS) and once the carnage has ensued, "Buckman" will be in the top 10 through attrition.

AJ Foyt Racing = "Top 10 through Attrition" is their motto !!! :thumbup:

[extramundane]

I think Jeff's bump at Mid-O might have rattled his noggin...

[dando]

I'm not questioning the driver. Just the setup and the idiot owner/chief 'engineer'.

-Kevin

[DaveL]

Now now people. AJ does have a lot of experience setting up cars. Decades of experience. And he's putting all of the knowledge he has about a '75 Coyote to use.

[L1P1]

With my knowledge of the track and A.J.’s experience in setting up Indy cars....

...I, um, ....well..., with my knowledge of the track we might have a pretty good weekend.

[Rogue Leader]

Bend it like Bucknum ???? :D

[theunions]

I assume you mean Road Atlanta instead?

[pchall]

Hey, are footie fans allowed here?

[Jervis Tetch 1]

Hey, are footie fans allowed here?Not sure about that, but I'm sure there are plenty of footsie fans about.

[pchall]

Hornish is the first IRL driver off the course. :rofl:

Off in four and seven on the first lap. :eek:

[coolhand]

he couldn't get the pit speed limiter off.

i wonder if there is more road courses that Rodger will give the american golden boy the heave ho :laugh:

[trish]

wrong futility thread.

[pchall]

Special Ed spins it on lap #15 and stalls it. :cry:

And he spins again waiting for the restart for his own yellow! :shakehead

[pchall]

DP and HCN get together. Both are out.

According to the radio Briscoe had to go wide trying to get past DP and punted her into HCN.

This is the funniest radio since Abbot & Costello.

Four yellows in twenty laps.

[Fio1]

Briscoe is going to get fired. Which is OK by me, come to Champcars where really racing happens and leave the oval racing BS to fat guys, idiots and decent looking short girls!

[DaveL]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Alsoranica cuased them to stack up behind her. Cheep is all ticked off. Both of Pimpske's cars are out (nice job Sammy, next time run a lap before you spin out and wreck the drivetrain). And sections of granstands are empty.

[theunions]

DP and HCN get together. Both are out.

According to the radio Briscoe had to go wide trying to get past DP and punted her into HCN.

Watching the telecast, this appears to be the same corner where Busch tried the same foolish manuever on Pruett (driving for Chip, who obviously didn't teach Briscoe well after this fact) and J. Burton in the '03 Cup race and, unlike today's mere 3-car wreck, caused a superspeedway-style Big One (much to my award-winning delight shooting away outside the corner).

I thought the corner that Busch wrecked at was the NASCAR-only corner?
