    I got one of the cores they sold. Mine is from Turn 5. Road America is one of my favorite places in the country to visit, and that core displays proudly in my home.

    @@thatonenigeriansformula No shit sherlock, but patterns tell stories. THe pattern is every series that has raced this year has broken their track record. And like I said would happen, Indycar did in fact break the overall lap record, by a second and they broke the previous record of this gen car by almost 4 seconds. So maybe you should work on your critical thinking skills before talking like an idiot.

    After watching the Indy Cars and The June Sprints I must say I’m a bit concerned. Every corner saw an Indy Car off. The track was eating cars during the June Sprints as well. The word is it’s tricky on the line. Off line its over.

    By the end of the race, the track will be perfect ... fully rubbered in, smooth as glass, and all the grip you want! But this season's about physical racing. They're going to hip-check one another out into the rough. Contact, but fair contact ... 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺. No question, the winning run will be a standout, ie., a benchmark run. A good place for Coyne/Malukas to be a standout.
