Indy 500 2022

Hello,

  Watching the Indy 500 practice and qualifying for the last week or so.  Fast 12 will be later today.  The speeds are getting INSANE!  These guys are turning laps averaging 233+ MPH in a rectangle with 4 left corners.  
While the all time record is still safe at 236.986 mph set by Arie Luyendyk in '96,  current cars have been creeping up the last few years.  I think we are in for a treat and another golden era for Indy...
Think about this: A four lap average of 230 MPH will only get you a 26th starting spot this year.
Really liking this!

Thanks,
Ismael

I have not kept up with Indy this year but I always watch the 500 which might be the best race of the day. Breakfast watching Monaco and then Indy around lunch and then 600 after dinner.

30 years later, I see and hear this video and get the same goosebumps I did when watching on live TV...

Not going to spoil the winner just in case. Really enjoyed the race! No stupid mistakes and a cliffhanger at the end!

I enjoyed the race too. I do think there were some mistakes though.
