You think you've got it hard eh? It's not even shown live on TV in the city it's held in.

That's harsh but I suspect it's so people will turn up at the gate instead.
They do the same thing here with the football.
 
A Gimp suit and a bath tub filled with milk..Not sure who thought that was even remotely close to being a good idea..
 
When does it start? and does it air on FOX?

Not sure. I don't have pay TV. We used to get coverage back in the Andretti vs Unser days & it was worth sitting up till all hours to watch it but still with 10% of the starting line up it's be good to be able to cheer on Power, Briscoe & Davison.
I remember Davison from the days when he came up to my hips! His Dad Jon was the promoter at my local racetrack.
 
Love the driver intros.
 
Did they ever figure out what was causing the vibration in Hinch's car?
 
98th. Has there been one ever year?

edit: guess not, since the first one was 1911

No races during WWI either, IIRC.


They said the race was going to get underway at about 12:12 IMS/US EDT time. Dunno if it's for the green flag or the command to start the engines.
 
Start should be in ~20 minutes according to one ESPN reporter.
So glad it's broadcasted here in Germany, no commercials too.
 
ABC with something that should have aired in 2011, TBH. :dopey:
 
Anyone with a guess as to number of yellows today? I'm thinking 4.
 
LET'S DO THIS!!!!!! :D
 
3 yellows and a Honda win,Simon or Hinch
 
I still remember Cheever and Goodyear last year complaining about the leader burning too much fuel as if someone couldn't lead..
 
6 yellows and a Penske to come good.
 
Briscoe with Left Rear tire issues

ADD-IT: Taking advantage of ESPN3's In-Car Cam option here. Dunno if you have it where you are outside of the US.

As a note, if your ISP lets you watch ESPN3 or WatchESPN, they have about 10 drivers onboard cams.

EDIT: Tree'd by CAMikaze lol
 
No yellow flags after 50 miles. So far, so good. :)
