I knew that wasn't the case from experience up at Texas Motorspeedway and the rain. Anyone know what the weather forecast is for today?

Trying to decide if we should stop or just keep driving.<br /><br />Enjoyed your Indy 500 comments. We enjoyed the race and especially Helio winning. So much more a "spectacle" than Daytona 500, which we also love. Our seats were across from Vitor's pits and we could see his crash in turn 1...both scary!<br /><br />Re: racing in the rain. F1 at Indy was a road course with only turn 12(1 in INDY & NASCAR) and straight away used. Flat and boring, but the best engine noise, whether flat out or shifting.<br /><br />Oh, one more thing. Someone on the Indy blog mentioned rooting for Sarah, especially since it's so hard for her to "find" a ride. She owns her own team, so no problem finding a ride...just sponsors :-)<br /><br />If there is a race and we don't stop, I'll definitely follow along here. This site is the best!

I personally am getting sick and tired of the hype and crap on the Fox broadcasts especially the yping of Kyle Bush and Digger by a certain analyst that had his own problems back int eh day. It would ahve been nice if they had offered some alternative programming, and we will have to see what happens today because theya re calling for a pretty good chance of it again today.majorshousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061887437257431963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24943938170049616532009-05-25T04:59:25.874-04:002009-05-25T04:59:25.874-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.The Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-48368684188333800952009-05-25T04:41:45.318-04:002009-05-25T04:41:45.318-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-38231030441749266922009-05-25T03:43:17.159-04:002009-05-25T03:43:17.159-04:00Honestly if NASCAR wanted to, the teams being so c...Honestly if NASCAR wanted to, the teams being so close to the track could run Wed. if they NEEDED to.

I actually think its kinda cool that the 50th 600 is being run in the day time on Memorial Day too.<br /><br />FOX just flat dropped the ball when it came to the weather, honestly it was Chris Meyers who led the fray in that department. Mike Joy and company did their best to not mislead or lie to us and actually shined in the brief time they were on camera.<br /><br />The race should be a straightforward streamlined broadcast which should be a plus.The Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52067387411113149362009-05-25T01:29:07.013-04:002009-05-25T01:29:07.013-04:00How anyone who likes South Park can find American ...How anyone who likes South Park can find American Dad offensive is beyond me. The only Fox cartoon that is borderline a kids show is Simpsons. 7 or 8 PM Sunday is the normal run time for these shows. Were there really that many children sitting still watching a rain delay? <br /><br />What was wrong with this Americna Dad episode? In any case, the parents who didn't want their kids to watch it and turned it off were doing their jobs.<br /><br />More importantly, does anyone think the race is going to be run tomorrow?
