2008 Indianapolis 500
Well, since there has yet to be a thread made on it, here it is. The 92nd Indy 500 is almost here! Discuss what you think may happen during the race, who might win, and any other intrests. I'm going out of town, so I won't be posting again till Monday.
How soon?

And be prepaird to see an Aussie on that Podium Cant blame me for hoping can u.
will there be a live stream??? or a delayed/ live on tape thingy??? I'd love to see the Indy 500 the first time for about 8 years again!
There is one on indycar.com

I'm watching

Oh..and GO WILSON!
Watching it on indycar.com, but it's got so many irritiating adverts, and the quality is pretty poor!
Tristan watching an oval race!
Yup! It's not very exciting yet, but who knows.
Im watching it on the TV and on indycar.com On their website the quality is very very poor and you cant really see anything happining...you can pretty much have to listen to it.

Edit: and they didnt even show you the crash on the website and the camera can only see the front streatch and doesnt show any of the back streatch and turn 3.
damn... Sarah Fisher is out
There went Kanaan..
Is there anyway to make it full screen?
Quote from ajp71 :Is there anyway to make it full screen?

don't see any possibility


and now Justin is out the McDonald's Car... of my second favorite (former) ChampCar team

anyone else thinking that Andretti's car is ugly? Nothing against Indy Johnes, but this attire is just ugly
I watched 2 laps and get bored
Thank god for sky.

Anayway, regarding the race it's not been that bad. Wheldon is having some problems. He had a great car in the first 100 laps then boom, starts moving backwards for no reason.

Bad luck for Tony, what does he need to do?
Castroneves will win it IMO

Does anyone apart from me think Moraes should be parked for being too slow?
Dixons been at the front all race, so he'll be there or thee abot. But don't ignore Marco and Schektar(sp?) at the moment. Although a winner is likely to come from 1 of the big 3 teams.
ajp and tristan watching oval racing? global warming must have the inverse effect on satans domain
Alex Lyod had a big one just there, going down pit road. Thankfully no one was out but still a big moment.
^ Reminded me of Kevin Cogan's crash in 89

Wheldon's to the back of the pack
Too bad for Justin Wilson--two bad breaks despite some good pace.

He'll be there next year.

Gonna come down to Marco and Dixon, and maybe Castroneves.
Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Wheldon's to the back of the pack

Explains why he was going backwards. Bad luck with Scheckter, broken drive shaft.........damn.
hmmm is the safety car driver paid for such alot work? It is more work in one race, then Bernd Mayländer has in three one girl remaining in race... *cheers for danica*

EDIT: Oh danica.... why do you do such a thing at pit exit... reminds me of raikönnen and alonso in Monaco...
EDIT 2: It wasn't totally her fault...
Briscoe got into Danica >.>
Damn the pit road is mad.

Nice comment from Andretti "Briscoe spun it and nailed her in her rear"

Danica was about to kick ass as well untill somebody talked her out of it.
This thread has failed: there is no turning only left vs. turning also right war going on at all.
