Do Buffaloes have wings?

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL INDIANA.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES INDIANA
TODAY.
A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY AHEAD AND ALONG THIS FRONT.
SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS
AND TORNADOES THE MAIN THREATS. AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH...MUCH
OF CENTRAL INDIANA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS POWERFUL STORM
SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN THE THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES EXISTS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS.
LATER TONIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT BEGINS TO PUSH EAST...A SQUALL LINE
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE STATE. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS LINE
OF STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO AND
LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
it don't look so good.....60 minutes to rain---max, IMHO.
they need 100 laps to get the race in I believe. this is why they are racing quite aggressively here in the opening laps - its not going the distance.
rain - yello flag.
avg speed 80 mph for the leader
might be a record low
this is a major flaw in this format - they should race on rain tires, just like they do in Formula One.
heavy rain within 30 minutes - this race is going to be held over until tomorrow.
you can do that on a road course....these cars would fly off the road at those speeds
I have never heard of someone switching drivers mid race....that is crazy
I think I'd be concerned more with safety, due to driver fatigue, in the NASCAR race.
they would have to go slower of course. But they get over 200MPH in F1 at Monza, they race there in the rain on wet weather tires.
red flag now.
It takes a minimum of 90 minutes to dry it out, if the wind comes up, 120-150 if it doesn't (although the wind seems like a sure thing).
That puts the timeline of a restart back to about 3:30 or so, hopefully leaving enough daylight. Drop dead restart time would be 4pm IMHO.

Al Unser Jr, Sarah Fischer
If we are gonna bring back any drivers let's get Al Unser Sr, Bobby Unser & Rick Mears, Gordon Johncock.
tony "disney" george screwed up the Indy 500 and that's all there is to it!
Correct, must make the 1/2 way point.
Thanks for the updates I'm currently TV challenged
What is the last race Robbie Gordon actually won? That didn't involve a truck.
Did You get approval from the WeatherGlock to post that? ;)
It happens more than You think it does
IIRC it was Sonoma road course last year
man, AJ Foyt IV must be really bumming...he might get yelled at for an extra day there....
