I think ALOT OF YOU are missing the point. The #7 car is locked in the show. Having the #77 try different setups and gather information will help the #7 on race day. The #77 is also the back up car, you can't have Wimmer going "balls to the wall" in practice or qualifying and tear up the car. If Wimmer made the race, great $130K + check, but that was only a bonus.
The #7 is going the full distance sunday and should have a great amount of info. Hopefully RG can finish ahead of the #71 and come away with a solid finish.
Don't expect more than a S&P or Start & stay in front of the #71 at Pocono...then onto The Big Show for RGM at Watkins Glen. New car, Penske motor and lots of SPEED! Enjoy Indy.

Thanks Zoom. That makes perfect sence. TOG cant seem to answer the questions sometimes. We are not all as enlightened as him. I think he forgets that.

No, you just post dribble without researching the facts.

The Fact?..................where was it posted that Wimmer was running race setups for the 7? Unless we're at the track or in the garage, how would anyone outside the team know this?

That is a good point about trying setups, but how many total laps did it run in all 3 practices. Just guessing maybe 10-15. That doesn't seem much in the way of testing setups.
It is a great plan to attempt the back up car because once in, you don't need one but I think (with my limited knowlege of the big picture) I would have focused a little more for that "bonus".

The 77# is the back-up? So not like Sonoma.....

77 made several mock Q runs this morning and topped out at 177.396. That looked to be pretty competitive in the morning session, but the track changed quite a bit between now and then.

TOG I can't enjoy my Saturday when my Bears have yet to add one quality Free Agent and we are still around 20 mill under the cap.

As for RG I was encouraged by most of his lap. If he'd have hit corner entry in 1 and 3 he'd have been in a very good spot and that picked my Sat up. Only temporarily tho cause now I am back to thinking about how terrible of a GM Jerry Angelo is.
