James Hinchcliffe's SPM racecar
coming out of the Tech line on Bump Day, 2018. Guess they should have left it
in there, Eh! (The Tomaso Collection)
|
And does it really matter? Especially since speeds
will be artificially "Pumped U-P!" For higher mph figures due to
increased Boost pressure...
Y'all know the Drill here on thoust Isle 'O
Nofendersville Mateys! As where has Thee last three-plus weeks gone? When
originally I'd had no desires to listen to the IMS Open Test Day action. But
apparently thou pull 'O Mother Speedway's "Tractor Beam" was simply
too strong for Mwah?
Especially when I discovered that one of my
favourite voices that I N-O longer get to listen to via Zed Internetz', Thanxs
solely to Starship HC's overly greedy Capitalistic ways! Led by Hulman &
Co's No. 1 Puffed Shirt Mark Miles! And the nepotism of erecting a 404 Access
Denied Error Code Gold Bricks Paywall; But I Digress!
As I'm totally a Fan of Thee Viking! Aka Anders
Krohn, whom apparently now is only heard on Sunday Races via the IMS Radio
Network, since NBC Sports has "Locked Out" their participation during
Friday's and Saturday's; Tisk-Tisk, what a Shame!
As Kevin Lee presided as the lead Booth
Announcer, which is fine for these One Off Internet Broadcasts, since he's definitely
NO Leigh Diffey! With Anders Krohn alongside, before they were joined by Robin
Miller. Whilst Katie
Hargitt tried
keeping Dry while patrolling the Pitlane.
As think they were Killing some more Time during
the 4hrs Rain Delay? For which 'Ol r', aka Robin Miller Collegiately said Boys,
Who Do You Think Won't Make the Show? Or was it Sportscaster Kevin Lee? As I
know Kevin said it's what they like to do... Speculate over who will and won't
make Thee Show during the Month 'O May, even if it hasn't Officially begun.
Thus Kevin
Lee's Top 3 Non Qualifiers were
Clauson-Marshall Racing, (CMR) DragonSpeed
& Juncos Racing.
For which Miller said look, I like Tim
Clauson, but they're a Brand New team and they just Don't have the experience,
or budget? To make the race.
Yet I slightly Disagree with Kevin, whom
seems like he's reading from a Cue Card from time-to-time. As I'll agree with
his first two assessments, i.e.; CMR and DragonSpeed, since they're both Brand
New entities, with Dragon Speed having never contested an Oval race before.
But I Disagree over Juncos, provided Kyle
Kiser's behind the Keyboard, since he hadn't been confirmed when I began
scribblin' this...
Since Kiser's shown previously he knows how
to win on Ovals during his Indy Lights Days, not to mention having raced in
multiple Freedom 100's. Along with last year's Indianapolis 500, where he
qualified 17th. .
Nope, instead, I'll speculate that Indy 500
Rookie Jordan King in Team RLLR's third mount, for which I hadn't heard a Car
number disclosed until May 2nd, when having "My Gal" Lucy', my
ARSE-STEAMED Screen Reader read me the News via Racer that the Official Entry
list had been announced May 1st.
As King's third RLLR entry will sport the
#42, with the Englishman, like fellow countryman Ben Hanley, one of this year's
seven Indianapolis 500 Rookies will be the third casualty 'O Boomp Day 2019,
The Sequel.
As those were my 3 Picks Failing to Qualify this
year immediately following the Open Test Wayback on April 24th, prior to
Official Indy 500 Practice, albeit with NO Disrespect towards any of the
Drivers above, or those trying to make Thee Show!
Panning for Gold...
Regardless of what some are saying out Thar
in Thee Blogosphere', I find it simply Atrocious that IndyCar, and most notably
Hulman & Co. would be so Greedy and Deny Fans access to Fast Friday
practice, all in vain to Discover a few ounces 'O Gold Dust...
Seriously? when Indy Cars needs every single
Fan it can muster, to Deny Access to the IMS Radio Network is simply Despicable!
As surely there's a way to let us, especially those of us who are Blind! To be
able to listen to the Day's Activity Trackside via easily accessible methods...
And I'm tired of being told to Shut Up over
this, as it wasn't FREE, contrary to popular belief. Since I'm fairly certain
we used to get to listen to Firestone advertisements, Righto? Not to mention
the "Mining" of our personal Data...
But hey Never Fear IndyCar. I Don't have to
bother trying to follow your sport any more, which certainly helps entice
sponsors?
As this will be the first year I Don't get to
listen to Fast Friday via Zed Internetz', and get Pumped U-P over Pole Day; err
Qualifying. Y'all know, when NBC will grace us with one whole hour's TV
coverage on Saturday; SPEW!
As is it just Mwah? Or is NBC Sports really
Desperate for some Suckers to Sign-up for their Gold Pass by discounting $15 -
trying to Eak out some profits before the season's over? Which Hopefully
implies people aren't willing to be sucked into paying more for Sports...
