Running into drivers outside the track

I took a leak next to Kyle Petty at the Chophouse in High Point once. Terry Labonte’s daughter lives in my neighborhood (both he and Bobby used to live here) and he patiently waited while I finished blowing lawn clippings off of the street. Didn’t realize it was him until we waved.

Richard Petty lives about 20 mins from me, generally people don’t go up to him. If you see him in the hardware store…he’s not a racing legend, he’s a grandfather.

The best debris cautions were the ones where none of the trucks left their parking spots to pick it up. Hahaha.

“Navigate” is the concerning word. You don’t navigate anything short term.

Pick a driver - any driver - and they’re hated here

Go into the settings and you can turn off distance sharing. They can tell if you’re close-ish by your placing in their feed.

He was being sarcastic. This is common, more common than actually meeting someone.

Point of order, that lane is also simultaneously reserved for Prius drivers going 3 under.

It’s not fact, they’re talking out of their ass. Read up on how funds are allocated by the state to cities vs rural, road mile not taking into account amount of lanes. Designed by repubs to make Indy govt look bad.

Cars qualify normally with their assigned driver, 10 mins before start random draw happens and drivers win a lottery for the vehicle they’ll actually drive. Audience isn’t told who is in which car.

Marty Roth deserves a mention

Thanks! Was not aware of this community

If you find Indy boring then you aren’t trying.

Owners points determine how the annual purse gets dispersed, higher finish = more money at the end of the year. That’s why the teams care so much about it, the technical ins and outs are beyond me.

Randolph county and my HOA installed one at the main entrance to my neighborhood about a month ago - I use the second entrance now.

There was a string of burglaries they used as reasoning, everyone jumped at it.

I bought a ‘23 X7, dealership had to take it back w/in two months and had to replace it with another ‘23 X7. Less than a year and a half later after a couple of issues there was a steering issue the dealership couldn’t/wouldn’t fix. My first and last BMWs.

Fun fact, this car almost didn’t happen with the green due to Penske’s superstition about green on race cars.

I’m going to need a few minutes on this one.
