Like.Yeah it was a great weekend, but I was disappointed by the lack of organization and some staff commentary in the Friday and Saturday drivers' meetings. Perhaps one of the more significant comments was that open passing in advanced and super... -
I finally got in touch with Bob and he had a really bad fall and went into the ER thinking he had blown out his knee. Once there they found out his fall he had actually broken his ankle extremely severe and after a long surgery he has been kept...

I think this might be the history of the engine design. http://www.wrljet.com/fordv8/indy.html Man I would have loved to see a video of that beast screaming across the flats! Listen to the glorious sound in an Indy car.

TennTex replied to the thread Brake Pads for GT350.I see my post #101 above from 2021.
