OFFICIAL Indy 500 thread...

[Xenon]

She's up to 10th. Still a chance.

O btw ...

can someone PLEASE tell me why the Indy 500 is NOT in HD?!

Danica in HD would be

 

[Xenon]

8th now. Good pit stop, I guess.

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

Ihope Sebastian Bourdais wins this. That makes him a CART Champion and a Indy 500 winner. Good titles to have on the resume.

 

[amol]

Wow, big accident

 

[Xenon]

Doh. She had climbed up to 7th and during a yellow took out like 4 cars when she was wiggling to warm up her tires. She lost part of her nose but is still in the race. Winning is out of question now though.

She certainly has made her share of Rookie mistakes and taking out a bunch with her.

I saw the brake check ahead of her... she hit the brakes hard for that and had to bail out of the line... when she got back on the throttle less than a sec later she lost the rear and couldn't completely save it... oops. But it was the brake check that caused it all... whotf brakes on a yellow ?

 

[Xenon]

Guess I spoke too soon. She's running 9th right now and looks like her team rolled the dice on pitting early. So, she still has at least some chance at winning.

PIC of her for anyone who cares.

even MORE pics

 

[Xenon]

Here it goes. She's going to try to go the rest of the way without a pitstop. The leaders are going in now and she was at 8th.

 

[rh71]

now she's #1. w00t.

She's in 1st again.

 

[rh71]

drafting... it helps the lead car too somehow, doesn't it ? As long as the car behind isn't exactly close enough to overtake...

 

[rh71]

holy sh!t... wheldon took 1st right before the yellow came out. #%*(&!@#%*(&!( there goes fuel conservation strategy. She could've actually won the whole damn thing with that yellow.

 

[Xenon]

Just a split second. Tough luck there. She has to pass Wheldon to win this. Wheldon has been running well all day, not sure she can do that.

At least she doesn't have to try to save fuel anymore... with a few more easy laps passed now... just keep it close and go for it the last 5 laps.

EDIT>>> SWEET.. she took it back on restart. (Maybe because she's 100lbs lighter ? )

 

[CTrain]

This is quite exciting....shes leading

 

[BrokenVisage]

Its over for her, sorry girly.

 

[rh71]

Good call alexjohnson16.
