Everything is possible, but you have to remember that:
1)After pole day, most qualified drivers focus on race setup 2)In the free practice there is no control on cars, so teams and drivers can do unallowed manoeuvres (e.g. rev limiter taken off) to set fastest times and get the attention of the media (this, to make sponsor happy, of course): thus we can understand why Greg Ray is back on the top!  Of course this doesn't mean that this is the case of Tora, but it may be |

As I remember, he was a bit better on the ovals in Cart.

Greg Ray had a chance to win the 2000 and 2001 Indy 500's. He crashed in 1st place in 2000 with Montoya behind him and 2001 with Andretti behind him, again running in 1st.
But last year I think he was in 33rd place when he crashed so you he seems capable of crashing in any position at Indianapolis |

Could be fluke, but he was 2nd today, he's looking good and says it runs well in traffic
I didn't know about the lack of restrictions, revlimiters etc, interesting.

Ooooooo, 6th in quals and 5th in the race (could have been higher if not for overshooting his pit marks) and voted Rookie of the year, good stuff

Takagi did really well, IMO, all month long he was there or there abouts. It would be great to see him win a race this year.
