Interesting article on Ganassi's big reorg. I love the part where Mike Cannon comes in and says "we replaced every bolt on the car with specially made titanium at Dale fuckin Coyne Racing, so what are you guys doing?" https://racer.com/2020/03/09/dixon-energized-by-ganassis-off-season-shake-up/

Conor gonna run the road courses for Ed in the 20, Indy for Ed in a third car, and the rest of the ovals for Carlin in the 59. Weird year for him. https://twitter.com/ConorDaly22/status/1237403612646641664

Hell yeah, Nasr in the #31 for St Pete at least. Keeps the Brazilian streak alive, and adds another champion to the field. Really excited to see what he can do. https://twitter.com/RACERmag/status/1237429820067209216

Straight up i was only looking forward to two things this year: Long Beach (as always), and my first 500 in 28 years. And not even that many boomers are dying yet! This sucks.

31 cars for Michigan (first starts for Chilton + Davison + RHR + Marco + Jr) and if you have caught some of the practice races, I think it is safe to say this is gonna be A. Disaster. Cool! https://twitter.com/tracksideonline/status/1248379214975262721

Also back then, bellhousing was chassis+engine specific, so not a part you could just walk down to the Xtrac trailer and buy on the spot if you broke one.

i think he was using the hand brake/wheel throttle, similar to what Zanardi used at Daytona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L6Sg4Ds7E4&t=66s yeah, it looks like he is using that now https://twitter.com/robertwickens/status/1246244875206635520 i just realized that they are probably working on something else because you cant really do a handbrake in the indycar tub Cygni fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Apr 17, 2020 |
