ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 08:28 AM Norm is probably right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,while Danica is fast, has the right equipment [Rahal/Honda], is aggressive, she still lacks the experience to run wheel to wheel at 220 mph. I wish the Az gal the very best, but I'd look for the winner to come from these three: Dan Weldon, V. Mira, or Sam Hornish. Anything can happen during the 500, so its any one driver's race to win and the one million+ $$$ prize. Rain is in the forecast today at Indy. Hope it starts on time and they can get the 500 miles in before the rains hit hard later in the day. This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 05-29-2005 at 08:29 AM

tangled up in BLUE Prowler Junkie Posts: 11086 From: New Castle, Ind Registered: DEC 2000	posted 05-29-2005 08:39 AM ...I think it is time for a lady driver to surprise us and do very well, but I doubt she will win... things that will help Danica... ...there are no parallel parking issues during the race... ...you can't see the shopping malls from inside the oval.... ...turn signals aren't necessary during the race... ...her cell phone won't be able to get a good signal inside the track... ...the car doesn't need a key to start.... ...she doesn't have to change her own tires... ...the cars all go one direction, less likely to back into another race car...

Jim - Go brush that tooth!!! Time to get strapped into the Lazy-Boy. Hope your heart can handle the excitement of 220 mph, wheel to wheel racing,,,,,without dropping a potatoe in your shorts
halicat unregistered Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 09:01 AM i just hope no one runs over a paper cup, and the damage causes them to get put out of the race..... check this out : http://www.indy500.com/grid.php

In slow motion, the big jack explodes into a million pieces. Didn't slow the speed of the car down at all,,,,,wonder if they had rabbit for diner after the race, lol.

Hope it starts on time and they can get the 500 miles in before the rains hit hard later in the day. right now the sun is shining........remember last year through and we had tornados looks like a better day today. If the rain comes in as expected it will be a shortened race and if delayed probably would not get in tomorrow they are calling for rain almost all day......but roight now it looks like a good race day They had on the news last night the girl has an unfair advantage. Now they are complaining she only weighs 100 lbs making her car lighter. They are talking as if they need to put a weight restriction on her. From the film footage of her if you look at her when she doesn't think the cameras are on her she isn't the sweet little girl they are making her out to be
Dave Mills Prowler Junkie Posts: 5419 From: Johnstown, PA, USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 09:59 AM Robby Gordon is trying to make a big deal out of the weight issue. He says it gives her a 1mph advantage over the male drivers if you figure they out weigh her by 100 pounds. She is s rookie with good equipment, but I don't see how the weight issue is that big a deal. If that is the case then the fastest car should always win...yeah like that happens all the time.

She left there at 16 to go to Euprope to pursue her racing career. So really, she's an Illinois gal and I think she will finish top 3 IF car holds together and she doesn't wreck in the first 50 laps.

Exactly. He should just button it up.

blackcat Prowler Junkie Posts: 1744 From: atlanta, ga Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 01:14 PM She just killed the engine. She needs to figure out what gear neutral is.........
Gene Prowler Junkie Posts: 1256 From: St.Petersburg,Fl USA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 05-29-2005 01:21 PM What is Robbie Gordons excuse in the cup series,He can't even get into a lot of races because he is to slow.I think he should keep his mouth shut.
ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 01:27 PM Ray - you are rrrrighttttt,,,god, that was awful to cough out about you being right, lol. Arie, Mika, and family have lived here since the kids were little,,,,,I'm sure he'd tell you that he is an official Arizonian [Zonie]. Danica, her mother Bev and father TJ live here now,,,and once here in God's Country, they don't ever go back [except to visit] ****************************************************** Wildcat and tangled - thanks for the weather info,,,,,hope they get it finished today. ****************************************************** Danica is doing alright. I remember Jacques Villeneuve being "two laps" down at Indy one year,,,,and winning the race. Anything can happen!

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-29-2005 02:37 PM Well,,,,,,it came down to 'lack of experience' for Danica. Under yellow flag condition,,trying to heat up tires, lost it, and caused three or four other cars to wreck. Ray - yes,,,,she is from Illinois. She needs some more seat time with Bob Hacker as her instructor. This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 05-29-2005 at 03:04 PM
