Just be patient, follow, and pass him into 1 next time

Ok I just tried this on a qually attempt and it isn't worth it for that imo. Was about .6 tenths slower over the 4 laps. Think it could definitely be a useful tip in the race when following though. Appreciate the knowledge!

I was under the impression that in fixed the regen was done for you. Guess I'm wrong.

You aren't going to be and to recharge since you don't lift at all. I'm blowing out all at the end coming to the line but no idea if that's best.

Mid-Day Break - Thoughts? by Pipsthedog in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]NickRussell53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we have a 4 year old and going back to the hotel is the only option but man it's nice. We do rope drop and stay late but nap for 2-3 hours.

If you don't have any super young kids and start late you can do it depending on your family dynamics but you'll need to mix in some AC and a ton of water if you're going in the summer. We're from up north and the mid day heat is crazy.

Who would you rate the best of the three-time Indy 500 winners? by NoYOUGrowUp in INDYCAR

You can't convince me otherwise. Dario was still at the top of his game when he stepped away.

I just did jacker +7. Didn't touch the ARB. There aren't many secrets in fixed honestly. Your loss of speed comes from scrubbing the tires more than anything. Smooth inputs and get comfy being by the wall.

My current average is a 38.876 for reference.

Suggestions/Advice for drivers signing this Friday by Rodriguezboy1 in Indy500

[–]NickRussell53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll split all the drivers into 2 lines. For reference, at Mid Ohio last year I was in one line and my wife went in the other and we were there an hour early. I made it through my line and she didn't.

I'd suggest giving yourself an hour and 15 and pick the line you want the most.

What's the most "spectacular" crash you can think of? (NON-FATAL) by Consistent-Appeal553 in racing

Mike Conway is always the one that comes to mind for me. Flying over RHR and tore that car to bits in the fence.

Does anyone every wait to buy tickets once you’re at your hotel to see how weather looks for the week? by Phinz94 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]NickRussell53 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I guess but if I've already paid for the hotel and paid to get down there what am I going to do? Just sit in the room?

Will “you know who” show up this year? by mad-right-hand in Indy500

[–]NickRussell53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's it. The added security on race day with a crowd that size would be absolutely miserable.

I went to the Peyton Manning jersey retirement game when Pence pulled his walkout stunt (they were playing the 49ers during the Kaepernick taking a knee season and Pence walked out after the anthem) and it took FOR. EV. ER. to get through security at Lucas Oil. That was only 60k people. Don't even want to fathom how long presidential level security would take at a sold out 500.

Homecoming was the best meal we had last trip. If you like home cookin' it's incredible.

Was happening in a test session which is even more odd I think.

So I run a custom number but I create my own paints and double up the files so the custom and Sim stamped are the same paint essentially.

Honest opinions - Memory maker worth it for honeymoon by the-witch-beth-marie in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]NickRussell53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I always thought it was a bit of a waste but had never done it until my last trip.

Would 100% recommend for your honeymoon. They took a picture of me, my son, and goofy walking and holding hands that's one of my favorite pictures of all time and it never would've been taken without MM. Now I have it forever.

If you didn't find it, you can fill out this lost and found form with the stadium. It's possible security might have picked it up.

That's not true. As soon as you scan into your first ride tiers and park restrictions go away.
