Not according to the Indy Star today in the combined results...maybe they were wrong...
They had Barron at 218.6 and Manning's top speed at 218.3.... |

Oh! I just looked at the timing and scoring - that was probably only the last session's times. My bad!

Make sure you are reading times that were compiled from "Both" sessions...that is what my "Top 10 for the Day" is based upon....taking each car's fastest lap for the entire day...in either session....
Barron was 2nd quick in the morning with a 218.6....I don't think Manning or Carpenter exceeded that speed in the afternoon session... |

You were right Tim.
Interestingly, the combined standings show two unusual situation: No Honda engine in the best ten; no Chevy engine in the worst nine. |

I knew the "No Honda in the Top 10"....
But did not look to figure out the "No Chevy-Worth in with Worst Nine" an equally-significant piece of info to know.... especially since the word we had gotten after the "Engine Tests" at Indy April 2 & 3 was that Chevy was way behind and down in power...again.... If they were, they sure aren't now.... |

Perhaps it was sandbagging at its finest during that intial test in early April?
Then again, wouldn't be much point in sandbagging and then show your hand in open testing... |

Reason for the Yellow:
Darren Manning had a "wallbanger" don't know where he made contact on the track... He was checked out and released from the Infield Care Center... |

I didn't catch much of the afternoon session...
But Hornish & Castroneves topped 220... According to the various noon newscasts here... Besides Manning, Buddy Rice made contact with the wall, and very late in the morning session, Barron hit the wall, too... Don't know about any incidents from the afternoon... Please advise if you know anything... |

Glad everyones alright, but the big news about that story, is that AP thought enough of it to print it!
Didn't think the Indy 500 registered with them... |

Tim, the rev limit is still 10,300. Remember that none of these cars were run over the tech pad after Wednesday.

At the end of the day, still the Penskies on top exceeding 220 mph with Hornish.
And still Giaffone doing very good. |

When you have such an old track, where most teams have lots of data, car setup becomes all-important. I think that explains why the Cosworth engine isn't necessarily at such a disadvantage, at least at this early point. They can claw back some time with an experienced engineer. For the same reason, Penske are looking fairly good and I wouldn't bet against them winning comfortably. Again.

Incorrect info takes on a life of its own on the internet.... and the second point is an important one, too....one that always has been in my mind as May approaches each year following the "Test Days" |
