Just a heads up that this weekends practice sessions will be either on ESPN2 or SPEED TV. The actual race is on ESPN. My memory must be eluding me, but has there always been 4 practice sessions at INDY?

There was something like 25 ten lap practices last year, instead of a race.

Be lucky to get much practice or qualifying in... weather not looking good. This system is just laying down a light rain, just enough to keep things wet. Weekend calling for possible T-storms.

And Indy takes FOREVER to dry-out.

Weather, I have been a part of some "great weather" during race weekends. Like the Monday morning camped out in a tent along the fence Pocono infield waking up to what was left of a hurricane coming up the east coast. The tent shuttered like a garbage bag tied to the tailgate. If it does come I hope it is a yes or no situation I mean how many more boring rain delays can we take talking about Jim Jonson (at least that sounds like a racer) and the same teams over and over, ESPN just replay old footage or something. But the reason I chimed in was to let everyone know that with all the weather websites out there a place called www.wunderground.com will have live easy to view up to date radar so you can make your own conclusion. If the car is fast I say it is about time we start to not "play it safe" and sometimes the best luck is to follow those certain people who never seem to get the shaft. GAS ON

I am worried about a very green racetrack after all of the rain causing another disaster this year. Hopefully the new Goodyears will fill in the cracks of the track.

weather looks ok at Indy today.

The tires will be fine, trust me.

In regards to determining how fast Robbys car is, today might not be the best indicator. With two practices today and two tomorrow, my guess is most people will be only working on qualifying trim today. Robbys cars typically are not strong qualifiers, so I'm going to reserve my judgement until tomorrow.

Hopefully its not like 2007, when he wrecked the primary on purpose because the thing would not turn in the corners. The backup was fast, but the brake system was all messed up raceday. He would not stop complaing to Gene about the brakes, until he rear ended someone in a wreck because he couldnt slow down fast enough. Ah memories...
