The Foyt Futility Watch -- Snorecoma Style

A neat little cluster of futility near the back of the grid.

Nothing to report --- IMS radio bored me into a Snorecoma. It appears that the efforts of the usual suspects were as futile as ever.

[DagoFast]

So that's like second place. Right?

[Chaos]

So that's like second place. Right?

hey hey open wheel fans, something else to be proud of while wearing your Downforce cap:

NASCAR pole at Infineon 77.740 IRL was 76.903

NASCAR pole at Infineon 1:17.740 IRL was 1:16.903


:tony: is pleased that the IRL is faster and grater than NASCAR.

Meanwhile, fans of real racing are :o :mad: :flame:

To be honest, the IRL runs a different track configuration, but somehow I think doing all the esses down from 7 and the fast bend at 9 and the hairpin at 11 would not be leaving many of the crapwagon drivers still in the race after the first lap...

That's nice, a simplified configuration for those with "special needs." :gomer:

NASCRAP also runs the short chute instead of going through the carousel section. The layout for NASCAR is about .3 of a mile shorter than the IRL/AMA layout.

Crapwagons on a roadcourse may be slow, but they ain't that slow compared to the Bricks of Tomorrow.
