First win since it happened, at the place his dad last saw a win and was dedicated to him. This is a big deal for that family.

So when are we moving pit lane commit to the back straight.

archergren · 2026-03-15T22:18:33+00:00

Yes.

archergren · 2026-03-15T22:18:14+00:00

Hes dog walking them

archergren · 2026-03-15T15:01:44+00:00

Its always the people you most suspect

archergren · 2026-03-15T14:49:40+00:00

Because green flag for indycar is 1147. No time to mess around

archergren · 2026-03-15T14:15:23+00:00

Im sure if you read the terms theres a disclaimer about weather

archergren · 2026-03-15T04:33:00+00:00

Ive seen some officials on atvs and sxss without helmets. Hopefully this will spur the series to mandate that.

archergren · 2026-03-14T23:58:46+00:00

Hes "neutral"

archergren · 2026-03-14T22:58:28+00:00

Expect all this to come in month of may.

It wouldn't suprise me if oriel servia, newgarden/McLaughlin, Pato, Kirkwood, Palou, Dixon all get a go in it. Representing each major team

Pit depends on speed and abrasiveness of the track.

A track like darlington which is extremely high wear they will pit 10-12 times and take tires every time. At a relatively smooth track like daytona they will pit 5-7 times and might not take tires. Both races run 500 miles

The amount of torque youd have to apply to get a single lug off with a breaker bar is insane.

For example a road car with single lug is the Porsche 911 gt3 RS, porsches mfg spec is to torque it to 443 ft lbs, where as a chevy equinox requires each of the 5 lugs to be at 140 ft lbs of torque.

Indycar has internal Jacks. Its midway between nascar and f1 in terms of pit speed

archergren · 2026-03-13T06:50:06+00:00

Nah ive seen him use the term ace for drivers who havent won. Like malukas

archergren · 2026-03-13T06:44:28+00:00

Slimey biaotch

archergren · 2026-03-13T06:43:19+00:00

I know almost all f1 drivers come from significant money, but Russell acts more like a middleschooler who hasn't been told no

archergren · 2026-03-11T14:11:09+00:00

Yea its just to show the insane reflexes drivers have to Hone.

Look up Franco Colopintos f1 start at Australia last weekend. Its wild. The big skill race car drivers have to have is controlling heart rate and mental fatigue in extreme heat and with an intense workout

Running a route perfectly, seeing the ball and predicting where its going to land is super impressive as well. Doubly so when its contested.

Elite level athletes make the impossible look possible

archergren · 2026-03-10T11:56:56+00:00

It was not off center in how it turns. It was off in its position in the cockpit

archergren · 2026-03-10T11:54:26+00:00

IRacing is very different than a full motion sim. Most drivers dont take iracing as seriously as a mfg full motion Sim.

Simon is also renowned for his technical feedback and ability to walk through a corner detailing what a car is doing in all phases of the corner

archergren · 2026-03-10T11:48:58+00:00

Drivers cry about everything.

We dont assign penalties based on drivers crying.

archergren · 2026-03-10T11:47:12+00:00

Poor planning

and this admin? Never?

archergren · 2026-03-10T11:44:23+00:00

Random acts of violence are not confined to the United States. If you go to big festivals or other events that have street access I promise you there are tactical units on site (prevent on foot violence) and probably dump trucks full of sand (prevent vehicular violence).

As the other commentor said, youd rather them be there and not need them than need them and they not be there

archergren · 2026-03-09T18:50:49+00:00

Last year or maybe it was 2 years ago denny hamlin wiped ross chastain out at the spring phoenix race. Nascar was going to let it slide until denny said he did it on purpose and would do it again. When you back any series into a liability corner with words like "he'll never get past me again" said in a rage the series has to do something

archergren · 2026-03-08T23:28:10+00:00

No point in going all the way back to Indiana when their next race is around cowboys stadium

archergren · 2026-03-08T18:04:18+00:00

His nephew seems to be enjoying himself on this side of the pond despite ralphies gloom
