NOT the old Indy Race...
[I still like the 4WD/AWD thoughts...]
A Swede wins the Indy 500.
About a million years ago I worked for Lotus in Chicago. Ran the showroom, made nice $$$ selling Elites and Elans People thought a woman couldn’t do it, but I did very well made more than friends with ordinary jobs.
Jim Clark was driving at the Indy that year, so we piled the kids into the back seat and drove down to Indianapolis.
Big fun until about the middle of the race when my kindergarten daughter had enough and started screaming and crying. Bless her tiny heart, she got nothing but sympathy from other people in the stands. “I feel that way too” they said. Long race!
Today she’s midair flying to Hawaii i for a birthday week with friends.
Most exciting Indy finish I’ve seen.
This is a rather poignant day for me. One of the crew dogs on the Rosenqvist car (front tire changer and transmission guy) is the son of a dear friend of mine who was part of a group of us who raced/crewed Datsun 240’s in SCCA events from the mid-80’s ‘til today, mostly notably numerous times at the 24-hour race for production cars at the Nelson Ledges Road Course track in Ohio. Sadly, he passed away last year. I’m sure he is smiling today.
Post Finish Postions...
Asking for a FRiend?
Same thing as 20 years ago. Second off Four gets the slingshot on the final straight to win.
I’ve seen people crash in 4 on the final lap. I’ve seen double passes on the last lap. I’ve never seen someone go 3 to 1 in one lap on the outside.
In other thoughts, it’s amazing how every time there’s a competent female in the race she gets taken out by someone else’s crash early on.
Despite the fact that mechanically throttle doesn’t care whose plumbing is pressing on it females are at a disadvantage to win due to the T factor — but conversely you’d think they’d be better at at least getting TO the end. But no. Total punt in 2025 and spin in front *failing to lock the brakes and trying to save it* drifting back up the track today. So it goes. That’s not ‘conspiracy’ but with so few female drivers at the top levels so it goes. A shame.
