Hopefully they'll just show it time-delay. Hopefully.
Of course if they do, they'll probably start the broadcast "zOMG we can't wait to show you Ben Spies winning the USGP live on tape!"
[SIZE=18pt]Qualifying Spoiler:[/SIZE]
I don't think any premiere class riders were injured, but one of the 125 guys might have been in turn 16.
Vermeulen crashed, as did Elias, during qualifying, but both were up and walking around afterwards. I was out at Stand J for qualifying, and saw them on the jumbotron. Stoner had a high side yesterday morning, but was OK.
As is probably known by most, Rossi got the pole by .08 seconds with Stoner 2nd. Lorenzo rounds out the first row, and Nickey Hayden is in 4th to start.
The Sunday schedule right now at 11 pm edt remains the same, i.e. premier class race is at 3 pm edt.
Weather today was hot and muggy. No rain all day. Tomorrow's weather is a crap shoot. Ike is still quite a bit to the south and west.
Since they want us in our parking spots at 8 am so they can resell the space if we're not showing, there isn't any danger of folks on the ground in Indy missing the race.
The AMA Indy Mile Flat Track race this evening pretty much reminded me of NASCAR on dirt. Go fast, go left, go fast, go left.... The snide comment from Chris Carr regarding the race tomorrow was uncalled for, and pretty much was indicative of just how poorly AMA "gets it."
