As Heaven's Forbid, thou race be Broadcasted on
local Radio, whenever the thick layers 'O Clouds Don't Disturb my 'lil 'Ol Transistor
radios reception...
Otay, so probably Nobody gives a Tinker's
Damn, but I for one became thoroughly Disgusted over thou lack 'O Information available
preceding this weekend's IndyCar race at my Hometrack of Portland International
Raceway. Specifically thou lack of information preceding Friday's opening
practice.
As I understand the need for Media Hype, PR
Spin or whatever? But Seriously? Who the Foobar' was All I could say after
spending copious amounts 'O time searching 'N searching in vain Thursday
evening over who'd be piloting Carlin's #31 entry this weekend?
Like we All learned via Racer that Conor Daly
would be driving the No. 7 Arrow SPM entry this weekend on Thursday, since
curiously Marcus Ericsson was called-up for Standby Duty at spa Francorchamps.
Hmm? Must be an injured Driver, Righto?
Yet Nary a Peep 'bout the Carlin situation as
far as I could Discover via Zed Internetz', as Seriously? Carlin's IndyCar
website didn't say one Bloody thing! And Ditto for Indy Cars Official Website
or Racer; URGH!
As it wasn't until after Friday's first
practice was completed at Portland and I reviewed the entire 23 Cars finishing
order... Yeah, Nothin' about Jack Bloody Nige' Harvey either! That I discovered
Good 'Ol Narly Pinball', aka Charlie Kimball in the #23 way down in P22, with
Conor Daly Dead last; CRIKEYS!
Whilst Ye OLD-est' IndyCar Blogger Geo.
Phillips; Hya! Once again Beat me to the Start-line, which Ain't too Hard to
do! By noting how many current day IndyCar Drivers have previously competed at
Portland.
Albeit, I did list All seven of them, plus
two more here upon No fenders last year. With the only IndyCar Driver not
participating this year being Robert Wickens.
Although I was Unawares' that 'Ol TK
Follow-your-Schnoz! Kanaan's Ironman Streak for Most Consecutive Starts began
at Portland Wayback in thou Summer of 2001...
And lastly, how will this year's IndyCar race
at Portland compare vs. last year's? And will Thar be another surprise winner?
Even though I'm rootin' for multiple drivers, i.e.; Alexander Rossi, Takuma
Sato, Conor Daly, and Gasp, even Thee GURR-REAT! Santini, aka Santino
Ferrucci...
As I haven't
decided if I wanna try pullin' up the always hard to start Internetz' IMS Radio
network Broadcast, or just G-O with the NBC Booth boyz' Sunday, Eh?
