We will see in this edition...

This year, for the 500 I could read some old "Indy Review" books. I have those of 1999, 2000, 2001 Were these the last editions? Since 2002 onwards can't find them.

Arrow could become secondary sponsor of the other drivers.

Yes, I would be at the house. Or walk into the woods for a few days.

Indycar just posted the 1993 race and it's kind of terrific

The '93 race was a bit of a classic.

I will watch this year (counting on weather not interrupting the satellite reception), and am pulling for Wickens (I love long shots, and he is a good one in the bunch)

If anyone gets a chance or can find it delayed, the Lights race today was EXCELLENT for having basically 4 cars in it. The last 15 laps were insane and the last 5 were intense. It was a great watch at lunch at the office.

Helio Castroneves believes Indy 500 pole lap speeds could exceed 235mph when the series introduces its new engine that is predicted to produce more than 900bhp.

He might be right, this kit is much quicker than I expected.

The new engine is meant to be due in 2021, along with a new car/chassis.

Oh my bad, I thought the engine was coming in 2020 for some reason.

I would assume the new car would be similar in aero concept but you know what they say about assuming.

I posted a couple of articles on the News and Rumors thread about the engine #3684 and car/chassis #3685, that are worth a read.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 27 May 2018, 15:58 (Ref:3824959)

It's very sunny at IMS and they are saying it's the hottest race since 1937.

**bjohnsonsmith** · 27 May 2018, 16:25 (Ref:3824962)

Carpenter completely out of position, that should have been waved off. Otherwise a very clean start.

tux · 27 May 2018, 16:28 (Ref:3824963)

Fantastic seems these new cars can’t race together.

That's exactly what I said. Sloppy getting to the line but clean after.

Cue the first ad break after what? 6 laps. Annoying.

Edit can't find anything else other than ESPN Go.

Doctor Punch is calling he's last race or so I hear...

I've got the ABC/ESPN feed with the side by side ad breaks but the buffering is pretty bad.

What is the proper beer to lap ratio today? I just opened #2 and am still before noon.

**joeb** · 27 May 2018, 16:52 (Ref:3824972)

Is Carpenter the best Indy 500 driver to not win a race this century?

**joeb** · 27 May 2018, 16:58 (Ref:3824974)

First yellow!
