Great idea except 2 different theory here. For dirt or pavement 30 lap race. Indy 500 race requires so much fuel stops to go 200 laps. And so many variables to achieve this. Do I want a car full of fuel or just enough at the checker. We worry about how much the car weigh at last few laps. This is all a gamble. Ten laps at Indy can be a long time. You always roll the dice.

In the last 10 laps of the race, a premium is going to be put on running as many of these laps under green as possible. This will be accomplished by shorting yellow flag cautions and expanding the use of the red flag to maximize having the last ten laps run under green flag conditions. The underlying principle is that our fans want to see the last 10 laps run under green flag conditions and we will try to accommodate their wishes.

As hard as it is to attract fans these days, the last thing you want to show them is a yellow flag parade to the checkers. They want to see two or more cars battling for the lead.

No hoses. No running over hoses. No hoses getting caught up under the front end of any type of car. The face of things to come.....? Now. Back to the 500 banter.

Does anyone know if Doug Boles (who runs IMS) is of the Boles dealership family that used to sponsor the Glen Niebel cars?

By the way don't even waste your time mentioning a dirt or pavement 30 lap races because I have seen them refuel cars under the red. I sure don't see the message boards blowing up about that. |
