You da man!

[FLB]

Unless I'm mistaken, this was a Portland band:

 

[red stick]

Portland band, you say?

 

[paulb]

^That’s a curious band.

[Anja]

Portland band, you say?

 

That would be the one I'd post as well, for once my musical tastes aren't completely out of synch it seems 

[red stick]

Sea shanties.  Revenge songs.  Keeping the troubadour tradition alive.

The band was easy.  Picking a song was hard, so I went with . . . provocative.

I now have this vision of a post-Richmond Team Penske meeting, with all team members singing on the deck (while working to fix the damaged cars), with The Captain watching.

Try the latest single.

 

 

Or this.

 

[red stick]

Actual IndyCar news.  McLaughlin, Palou look stout.

I may be a fan . . .

Practice in 30 minutes.

[jonpollak]

Portland…Home of Anna DeVille !!!

And Practice 2 is NAO

Jp

[Disgrace]

Power parking it like a glove!

[FLB]

Frozenqvist has done damage to the car. He hit the Armco. Session still running.

[ANF]

Ouch. Vertebra-crunching collision for Felix as he clipped the concrete barrier at T1 and was launched over the kerbs.

[Disgrace]

He managed to hit the wall before the armco even started...

[ANF]

Herta gave Siegel the finger for inadvertently squeezing him against the wall on the back straight.

[FLB]

McLaughlin P1. Malukas P2. JoNew P3.

 

 

Hmmm.

[Afterburner]

I’ll accept Palou clinching early if we get another race like last year’s edition of Laguna to close the season.

[jonpollak]

Quality time

Jp

[red stick]

All the Penskes in Group 2?

[FLB]

All the Penskes in Group 2?

Looks like it.

 

All RLL in Group 1.

[ANF]

So they can hit each other.

[red stick]

Looks like it.
 
All RLL in Group 1.

Vips with them this weekend.

[FLB]

Lundgaard

Kirkwood

Santucci

Herta

GRahal

Dixon

 

Pato OUT

VK OUT

Malukas OUT

[ANF]

Pato out. P12. Problems? Dixon through despite a big slide on the last lap.

[jonpollak]

Pato !?!?!
WTF dude ??
Jp

[FLB]

Vips with them this weekend.

Forgot about that...   

[red stick]

O'Ward!

[FLB]

O'Ward!

He's going to be an interesting interview...

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Shocking result for Ninja Hands, after that win a few races ago, it’s just been downhill ever since.

[Disgrace]

VeeKay was in the top ten in both practice sessions. Flopped when it counted.

[ANF]

Pietro Fittipaldi? I had no idea he is racing in Indycar!

[Jellyfishcake]

Pato out in Q1 ouch 

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Vips with them this weekend.

Forgot he existed!

[Disgrace]

Pietro Fittipaldi? I had no idea he is racing in Indycar!

 

He was so close to finally doing something of note this year.

[FLB]

Palou

DJ Willy P

Armstrong

Ericsson

RoGro

JoNew

 

McLaughlin OUT

Rossi OUT

Frozenqvist OUT

Edited by FLB, 24 August 2024 - 19:59.

[Disgrace]

All McLarens out, oh dear.

[STRFerrari4Ever]

McLaughlin and Rossi not making it through is a major surprise. Grosjean, certainly can deliver in qualifying but in the races, not so much.

[Jellyfishcake]

What a miserable day for McLaren in the states

Rossi 9th in Q1 as the best placement.

 

Both Rossi and Mclaughlin seemed to be heading through but lost time near the end of the lap 

[FLB]

Grosjean, certainly can deliver in qualifying but in the races, not so much.

Which has me wondering whether it's him or the team (pitstops, strategy, etc.).

[FLB]

Vips P8 in his group is better than I was expecting 

[red stick]

Which has me wondering whether it's him or the team (pitstops, strategy, etc.).

My guess is B.

[ANF]

Paloups.

[red stick]

Paloups.

Palouch.

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Which has me wondering whether it's him or the team (pitstops, strategy, etc.).

A bit of both but more the latter from what I’ve seen in the races, he’ll be running top 8 and they just put him on a strategy that somehow loses him 5-10 positions.

[Jellyfishcake]

Of course it seems Palou gets away with going off, he really is invincible 

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Palou makes an error but keeps the car running and loses his fastest time up to now before they put on the quicker option tyres.
