Ah yes, I'm reminded again how much Sam Posey loved to hear his mouth making noises, as he described the overtly obvious things happening that any viewer who wasn't considered legally blind could also easily see and understand without any explanations being necessary.
I train at this gym and watched this competition in person, and I can say asa’s open run was one of the most memorable runs I’ve seen. He was just so flowy and fast, and he is a great guy too.
Outside wall ..inside wall and pit wall.just says it all. If you going to drive on ovals don't use concrete walls. Throw into the mix drivers who are don't have full time drives and amateurs
@@Gage_Brumley It is pretty solid, but with the forces, I don’t see it impossible to knock down. I just know whoever hits it is probably dead, especially if in the lead as they will fall back down on the other cars. I wish Indy was redesigned. A lot of gripes I have ab it. Like the fact that it’s a oval, but it’s hard to watch a race there as everything obstructs ur view. It would be the most ideal track for me to go to as it’s the closest, but I never have as it’s just hard to watch a race there.
@@tamezzodiac2862 Exactly sight lines at Indy are by far the worst for any oval track. It's essentially an speedway with the grandstand layout of a Formula One track. Not to mention all the safety issues, like the attenuator, pylon, no safer barriers along the pitch wall or short chutes... they could maybe solve the pylon issue by installing a catch fence along the pitch wall, but regardless it's still a dangerous place
Spencer hit it square with the most speed. Always curious to see what would happen in a hit like that. Also the aero screen had nothing to do with saving his life
He did hit it in 1994 during practice. The car spun off of turn four, hit the inside wall and made contact with the attenuator with his right rear wheel while coming to rest in the pit lane.
Gasoline alley...pit row really needs to be reconfigured at Indy. Make pit-in before turn 3 and place safer barrier all along front stretch. Someone (else) is going to be seriously hurt or killed hitting that divider.
I think at this point with how safe everything is I dont think you’ll ever see something serious happen unless someone gets turned into that wall at 220+
@Hammer hand Tire barriers are nice because they take the impact and are soft enough to lessen the impact for the driver. Think they also scrub off speed at a slower rate that it does not whiplash you as bad. You do not want to come to a sudden stop when you hit any barrier.
