No, in Fontana they kept them racing....
And from memory none of the drivers were told anything untill the race had ended.


The fact that it was a one-car incident and well away from the racing surface made a huge difference though. It didn't necessitate a red flag or a particularly long cleanup, thus the race was already well back underway by the time it was announced. Might as well have ended the race and let the drivers know afterwards. It wasn't as imperitive in that situation either. Those cars were ungodly fast but that was the only real concern. Today we have a bunch of cars that like to fly, racing on a track that isn't suitable for the chassis. Also, there are still almost 20 cars remaining, so the threat of another serious incident still looms large.

I've never been able to get the Indycar.com site to work well anyway, has to be one of the worst websites around

Until we get an official announcement, I am locking this. We are in no position to speculate about anything. We don't know anything. Period.

it's bad to speculate but nothing wrong with discussing

Locking the IndyCar thread was a bad (horrible) decision, compared to Justin.TV or Twitter, the TBK folks are pretty decent. That's all I have to say now, I'm going offline. :)

I don't think posting in this thread is going to be any more acceptable.

However I think people should know the tweet reported to have come from Ashley Judd was faked...
That's being retweeted about twitter and you can see from her own feed that no such tweet existed.

Makes you wonder about the kind of person who would do that

This age, false information can be spread easily. I rather wait until ABC or IMS Radio says something about the matter.

This is a serious wait for information though, most must admit. 2 hours!

No real bad-taste was going on in the thread. Talking about this is something that some people need to handle the stress of not knowing, preventing them to do that is stupid. Everyone was praying and having respect for Dan. If you don't like the speculating, just don't open the freaking thread.

Understand, I wasn't trying to censor anyone, I was trying to settle everyone down. We don't know a thing, and we shouldn't act like we do. That's where I was coming from.
