Why did they throw a yellow for track inspection with 10 minutes left? Kind of put a damper on the end of the session.

in car cigarette lighter I'd imagine, I'm more concerned about how he got the spliff through his helmet, did he have a hole in it?

Probably Indy between 1990 and 1993. My guess is 1992.

I wonder how fast they'll go tomorrow with added boost. 230 would be cool.

Well, it might rain a bit. Also going to be humid, which I can't imagine does much good for trimming out.

Not to want people into walls, but doesn't the fact there are so little crashes show that it's kind of an easy deal around the track ?

I think the cars are kinda reaching their limits with the power and aero they're given. Practice has been fairly clean this year and in 2016. I wonder if they've reached the point at which they've dialed in the handling of the cars at the various levels of trim they need. In other words, there might not be a meaningful amount of speed to be gained by going any further in trimming out.
