WTF???

[bosco24]

They forgot to weld down the manhole covers?

[mabarker1]

P1 has been aborted !!! STEWARDS: SESSION WILL NOT BE RESUMED.

Red Flag for possible Manhole Cover vs one of the Ferrari’s and the Ferrari lost the battle. Apparently a bad welding job on cover to hole rim and the Downforce Vacuum sucked the cover loose...

I’m going to speculate that the Barge Board is no longer in Specs.

So I guess now they are going to spend a few hours adding welds to the manhole covers.

I say it’s a plan cooked up by 2tue for totopuffs and hammiebuttboi to get them more suck up TV time.

[Chode]

you gotta be friggin kiddin me...

[sweeperboy]

P1 already canceled. Supposedly loose manhole cover. Sainz hit it dead center bottomed out, damaging floor.

[mabarker1]

See above.

I have a view from our time share at Polo Towers on Harmon Ave. So far they drove around from 8:30 to 8:50.

[Chode]

w00t!!!

ticket holders must be flooding the casinos...

[mabarker1]

I’m not a Betting type but I’ll bet there’s gonna be a whole lot more “problems” this weekend.

The show that was on CNBC earlier Documentary: Inside Track: The Business of Formula 1 they were talking with the guy who was the Construction Stupidvisor saying that they would have “EVERYTHING” ready on time for the Race.

I shall predict that it will have more problems.

I will Pray that anything else does not injure or kill anyone.

[Chode]

like the man said, hella of a price to pay for being stylish...

[Chode]

yup, it’s hard enough to pull it off when you do it every year, first time?

[Drago]

Yeah, new track, 1st year....need more car ground clearance for the “virgin” track conditions! Although it’s Vegas....not many of those around?!? The was F1 in Vegas in the 80’s sometime? (Caesar’s parking lot and etc.).

[IYAS9YAS]

Watched the safety car go through. What a lame layout for a track. Boring as hell with blind turns you’d better be ready for or you’re going to have a bad day.

[mabarker1]

But - But the promoter lady said it’s not a big deal we’ll get it done...

Done, maybe. Done RIGHT, eventually.

[Chode]

that, was obscene...
