I've been to the Tippecanoe branch of the Milwaukee Public Library on E Howard Ave and that area did not require a ghetto pass.

Wonder if it's a franchise.

We should pool our resources and open 1 near COTA

"So we made some set-up changes and it was much better and suited my style a lot more – and with the updates it is pretty awesome to drive.

"I also fell into the port twice today [on the simulator], and hopefully that will not happen. After Turn 1 [Sainte Devote] you go up the hill, I fell off on the right hand side. And rolled.

"I've never rolled in the simulator before – but I rolled! Lucky enough the impact isn't as big as in reality, but you still get a jolt and a bit of G-force."

LOL Rolling the car in the simulator. I can guarantee I would have tried to do that at some point just to see what would happen lol.

South side of Milwaukee is primarily white working class. Generally safer area, near Saint Francis which is a rapidly gentrifying suburb.

North side is where the majority of shootings/crime/etc., take place. Heard a few gunshots at my friend's place over the weekend.

...gonna watch this weekend? Maybe they like F1 better than IndyCar so it will probably be Monaco if they get bailed out in time.

Not sure if Daniel Ricciardo has a mancrush on Felipinho. They were on a plane together with Massa and Coulthard.

or is it a combo of that and psychological: maybe people at the front in the early part of the race overdrive trying to stay there while someone mid pack is taking it easy until the final dash so they have more in reserve?

Ahh, the old Darrel Waltrip vortex. Also rumored to keep the weather away on race day. Lol. I think it's just a curious fact more than anything. There's no reason why a team can't win from the front, but it's pretty cool that one can still make it from the mid-pack or even further back. 500 mile races are good for that. If you place your bets based on statistics though, rows 4-5 are historically the most likely to win

Yeah. The quali setup is totally different from the race setup, except for 2015 (the year of the flying IndyCars) when Chevy negotiated their way into qualifying in race trim and boost level. They are way trimmed out (hence Chevy's tire ramps and different combinations of 0-2 winglets), super shuttered up, and an extra 100mBar of boost. You couldn't run them in traffic like that.

Lol... maybe CGR will add a last-minute Taco Bell sponsor to the 9, next to Camping World?

Just went to Taco Bell.

Those drivers getting robbed was great advertising.
