He only went airborne because he was backwards in the grass next to RHR's car so he had no air on his to not go airborne. If they don't make contact on track, they don't spin into the grass and Briscoe doesn't go flipping.

You act like there's never contact without pack racing. How do you want to forbid a three wide on an oval as wide as a runway anyway?
 
The nose digging into the grass was a sickening impact but I guess that it was better than the alternative of the roll hoop digging in. Until that horrible hit that must've been the most spectacular race I've ever seen.
 
A memorable race. You don't see many like it. For good reason, they will tweak things to stretch the pack out next year.
 
At this rate, Indy Car will be racing strictly at road courses in the future. Let's be frank. If this few people came out to watch today's race, even less will want to watch a parade.
 
Thank goodness for the safety of these cars and the safety crew. They have been far above put to the test this year. Huge respect for the safety team and the designers of the chasis.
 
I agree with Marco!
 
Both late race incidents were 3 wide with the cars on the inside and outside squeezing the car on the middle.

But he's wrong, the drivers did not sign up for pack racing. As Power said they were telling Indycar to make changes so this wouldnt happen
 
Before, we just had parades, with no excitement. Now with this, we have excitement, but it's on the dangerous side. They're going to have to find a happy medium for this to work well.

It's called stick to Milwaukee, Iowa (small ovals) and Indianapolis and Pocono for ovals. :p

Without the pack racing, they have more room to not make contact.

And with 5 hp scooter engines, these cars wouldn't be quick enough to roll.
 
Well unfortunately, this argument alone is what will Keep Indycar racing from ever getting better. People will want safe racing but then we'll get the parades we get in NASCAR and attendance rates as well as TV ratings will just go down the toilet whereas others will want more of this racing and attendance may go up but so will the potential of death.

Again...stick to Pocono, Indy, Milwaukee, Iowa for ovals. Texas and Cali' are just as bad as Vegas'.

Because Indy has never seen a three wide at even higher speeds.



Oh, wait.

And you still didn't answer my question from before.

Eliminate the speedway aerokits and the racing goes back to how it was previously. It wasn't a parade, and it wasn't what occurred today...
