Regarding the Rossi/RHR/Sato crash, after seeing most of the relays, I am unable to point the finger at any of them. I also can't blame Sato for going high either. I mean, the green flag is out and give him 6" more room and everyone is talking about a great pass instead.
Robin Miller did say that picture was before Indy officials stepped in and said no way and multiple drivers were in the radio saying they weren't getting back in the cars with that repair.

It does feel like Pocono has just been passed by and promoters only see the (I think fake stat) 1/3 if the US population lives within what they think is decent driving and marketing reach from Pocono. The guy who runs the old racing driver bar in town didn't even know the race was this weekend so I don't think they marketed it much at all. Unlike the claims the track has made. But it does seem like they are struggling as a track and looking to lose another race next season, possibly two if Indy doesn't come back. It looks like they only have a few big events, Indy, Nascar x2 and the air show and they likely are down 50% for 2020. But they have a great solar plan and 3 megawatt array on the back side of the course.

I agree about that. But apparently Pocono has older fences that need an update.

R HR seems to think the case is closed:

He's been presented exhibits B, C, D and E in the threads. Some people got waaaaaay too much time on their hands.

I saw that. To be expected from RHR in my opinion.

I guess it's been known but not posted. Felix is cleared for Gateway.

Quick search of another article stated that he had "some minor back pain and a bit of a headache".
