Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
It's interesting that some news outlets have "Indy 500 driver robbed" instead of "IndyCar driver". Anyways, those two kids who robbed them probably did more to raise awareness of IndyCar among American viewers than Fernando Alonso.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
she probably wont eat Taco Bell again for a while.
Indy 500 driver Scott Dixon and retired racer Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint in a Taco Bell drive-thru Sunday night, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police report.
Dixon’s wife, Emma Davies-Dixon, was also with the two drivers. No one was injured in the encounter. According to the police report, the robbery occurred around 10 p.m. ET, just hours after Dixon won the pole position in the 101st running of the Indy 500. The Taco Bell is less than a mile away from the racetrack.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police said they arrested two teenagers, ages 14 and 15, in connection with the robbery of credit cards and other personal valuables from Dixon, his wife, and Franchitti. Both teens were charged with robbery, and the 15-year old was also charged with resisting law enforcement.
IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan told reporters that Dixon was making a food run for a group of drivers, including himself.
"While they were ordering with their windows down two guys approached at gun point they held a gun at Dixon's head and asked him for his wallet and his phone," Kanaan said via the Indianapolis Star.
"You don't expect that to happen, especially here."
Dixon and Franchitti did not speak with reporters Monday.
Dixon is set to lead the field to green after turning four laps at an average speed of 232.163 mph during Pole Day qualifying.
Franchitti is a four-time IndyCar Series champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner.

I'm glad they caught the bastards. Of course with the way our justice system is they'll prob end up getting a medal and 15 $/hr job working at that taco bell
Dixon didn't have his wallet and had to give the robbers his wife's wallet lol It's not funny but it is funny if you know what I mean

I was looking on google earth and it has that look of trying to polish a turd. The main drag through there looks nice but taking some of the side streets it looks like there are pockets of people who still care but there are def areas where there is less caring about domicile upkeep.

Moment of silence for the Wild Cherry. If you are ever out in Boise, ID check out the Satin Dolls on W State Street. Be sure to hit the 44 club next door. You won't find a classier place *note extreme sarcasm*

Re: The Official Formula 1 2017 Season Thread
when i was a wee lad we were out joyriding one night and decided to pull into the local strip club even though we had no money and were not old enough to get in. they had thrown out a guy for being drunk and he was sitting outside when we pulled up. we asked him if the girls dancing on stage were totally nude and he started yelling: "hell yes they are so nude you can see their livers!" we did a neutral drop burnout and left and that was a catch phrase for us after that.
