Thanks, it is really cool. I've been here once before, last year our big "special" event was road america for indycar, when this one was cancelled. Glad we got to do that one too. Theres a different energy seeing them on a street circuit. Sounds bounce off the walls more, seems a little louder, seems shocking at times to see them so close to walls so fast, and worrying at each pass for a wreck with the wall is a different sensation. Viewing is what it is, you know going in it's not the same, but it's still awesome. We moved to the inner loop area, around turn 9 and 10. Gonna work around to turn 7/backstretch then maybe end at the grandstand. |

Well that's a good update from Indy medical, gonna be seriously bruised but sounds like other than that ok. Fingers crossed of course that the MRI and imagining look clear too

Sounds like Felix is no worse for wear, which is good...
Now, fix the wall!! |

Any idea on whether they are going to shorten this race or imsa race afterward? They have time to get them both in, just wondering for tv purposes.

Trying to wedge those blocks in line looked like me with new fence boards fighting the bow of old and new

That was GREAT with Mike Shank, they mentioned IMSA race starts at 5 in NBCSN and he immediately looked at his watch with a raised eyebrow

Well the forklifts are leaving so guess that's a good thing. You think maybe just 10 min of commercials and then we could go long NBC? Oh wait, the money guys won't like that
Guess they were leaving to get more tires cause they're back |

Just heard mike hull being interviewed and he said they were still intending to complete original number of laps. I know f1 has 4 hours to complete 2, what is indycars limit? Is it the same?

I haven't seen anything about a max time other than TV coverage.
Romain looks like he is having fun racing again Jimmie taking the anti-John Force driver suit path. Personally prefer the Force dirty suit plan |

That was bs from Herta, that's the crap they need to sit drivers for. Flip him off, block the corner, fine, but intentionally swing over like that? F you with your garbage there

And now red, IMSA isn't gonna get to race in the daylight
Red without fans and getting the drivers out is ridiculous and stupid. Either it's red and everyone does the usual or it's not red and they should be on the track. Ok, Race Control finally told the officials it's fine |

Seems like Power has some problems getting fired
Radio sounds like Tech Support, hold X until the unit resets. And he is a lap down with 4 to go, and now he's out. I don't like him but unnecessary red flag ended his race |

Looks like Power's race is evaporating, in the Detroit heat.
