Yeah, and you're certainly going to be vital in our cause.

You can go **** yourself.

And the way the speeds have been dropping, I am actually starting to get nervous, which is weird because I already know everything that happens.

TIA Angel :embarrassed:

Is it like watching a replay of a qualifying when you already know who gets pole?

Worse. It's like watching a really terrible movie in slow rewind.
 
2 Hours until I'm up, not cool. Knowing my driver I'm expecting a potato effort but I would be happy to be wrong, also, them quali points could actually mess up the standings a bit.

Quali points do not apply to Bump Day, but yes, they should be interesting to throw in.
 
Do speeds continue to drop off as Bump day moves along or is there a point when they start to rise again? I'm actually getting a touch nervous right about now especially if they get even slower

Well, van der Linden just did a 219mph run, so it's possible things could only get slower. Unless somebody goes full banzai mode.

I can't necessarily answer that. They do climb back up, but I can't say how much, or how long.
 
I have been at my laptop since 9 a.m. and I think that as soon as 4:00 rolls around, I might just yell like a banshee.

Could be worse, you could have been slaving over a CNC lathe for like the 6th day straight making the same hydraulic cylinder component.

You don't understand. I have been looking over the same results since 9 a.m. No music, no gaming, and nothing food related asides from like a rice crispie treat since 9 a.m. If I do this tomorrow, I'm getting food before hand because this is insane.

Worse than sitting in a room for 5 hours taking a test?

The garage is a mess. There are loud noises, numerous curses and yelling happening. This reporter dares to peak around the corner and is nearly hit in the face with a spanner getting chucked out of the garage. The only coherent words from Jamie other than cursing are "Flat ******* broke. Can't pay suppliers or employees. **** this. So ******* broke!"

We are just receiving word that famous driver Jamie Ngaire-Jardine had to be held back by security guards and was temporarily taken to jail after attempting to punch drivers Pedro Harsk and Mohammed Ahmed and punching Honda engineers. She was ranting incoherently about javing seen them exiting her garage after having messed with her engine. It's no secret that the RTi Racing team has had budget issues but it's fair to say that this will put an even larger red mark on the team

Well, there is no easy way to say yhis but unless there is an infusion of capital within the next 72 hours RTi may have to declare bankruptcy. We put all of our jopes into a strong showing at Indy so to have been knocked out in Pre-Qualifying is a huge kick in the stomach. No time for questions I'm afraid. The crew managed to get enough money together by various means to make bail for Jamie

After a long day of tension, Ecurie Ecosse driver Gary Slater expressed huge relief after barely surviving Bump Day qualifying. The Scot said, "We had a really bad run when we went out. The car felt really loose all the way and we could only scrape a 224 run.

We were on edge through the rest of the session as we sat and watched the others pile on faster laps. We were so happy to sneak through when there were slower laps being recorded. I'm pretty bummed for Jamie, Aaron and Thomas as they have shown lots of potential this season."
