Silly question: Do any of you guy shave an idea why during practice they enter the pitlane before T3 rather than coming in after exiting 4? |

I get the feeling nobody's tried a qualifying setup yet. Almost everyone is in traffic, and the non-tow laps are far too slow for qualy setups. I suspect those are just teams rolling out in race trim trying to get a baseline on their stuff in clean air. |

Ok wow so apparently Chris Pine from star trek is going to wave the green flag this year. Omg seriously?? You think they would have picked someone with some history and meaning to the track. Dumb decision. |

Didn't they reduce the boost last season, after the airborne accidents? Will it be the same again this season, or have the added safety measures allowed them to give them a bit more again? It would be amazing to see them somewhere near the records again. |

Teams will get extra turbo boost worth 40-50hp on Friday and through qualifying, then back down to normal levels for the race. |

What a way to end the centennial era!  Next year it's going to be Ashley Judd and she'll wave the green flag for three times! |

Racing in traffic looks good alright. No excessive tow, just enough to get a run, and it's not guaranteed either. That's how it should be. |
