2022 Grand Prix of Portland

[racingfan7]

Put Indy high up on the list. The museum also is really incredible.

Just makes me mad that the Freedom 100 is gone.

They got rid of the Freedom? That was a great race and went great with Carb Day

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Scotty Mac out for a Sunday drive.

 

[racingfan7]

I’m sorry to derail but I 100% think NASCAR Cup should also be going to Portland, Iowa, North Wilkesboro with the way these other series including IndyCar present these tracks.

Yes, I guess the costs are too much for Indy Lights, maybe they can revisit and bring it back. but as a fan that race was the most special race on the schedule.

 

[racingfan7]

Highly skilled drivers out here not wrecking.

For a moment I thought there were two Dixons in this race.

Having been to the first Portland race I can tell you that although the track is great, the facilites are non existant with long lineups for porta potties and the odd food stand on the premises. It's far from being a world class facility.

For once I'd actually like to see a "championship standings as they run" graphic.

Gateway isn’t exactly world class either in some spots yet it was fine. Eldora is also the same. JMO

Power has slowly decreased the lead on this run but Scotty could be taking it easy right now

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pato is working his way into contention, will be interesting when everyone else up front has to switch to primaries.

Rahal and Lundgaard have both been pretty racy for a good stretch now. RLL just need to get Harvey into that performance window now too.

From 8 seconds down to 4 after the pit cycle. Scotty has almost all PtP left.

 

[Kiante]

So Scotty had to learn how to left foot brake?

Interesting, a lot like Dick Tracy learning from Allmendinger back in the day to learn how to left foot brake.

 

[FLRacingFan]

JoNew with the old Mansell dummy move.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

This place is pretty damn racy when they don’t wreck half the field at the start and let the strategies play out.

Boy, have we been deprived of some good racing in the previous races.

 

[West]

This could be the fastest race ever, timewise. I'm hoping for a yellow now.

 

[Kiante]

Oh no, I hope Conor is okay man.

That Pokemon-esque helmet is top-tier btw.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Oh no, I hope Conor is okay man.

They said he's good. Uncomfortable but unharmed.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pato and Newgarden really caught JJ at the worst piece of track.

 

[Hotrod]

Just makes me mad that the Freedom 100 is gone.

it was a good example that even 8 or 10 cars at times can put on a great race.
I lost track of how many photo finishes there were.

I agree. I didn’t care about the car count but evidently Roger’s group or Roger himself thinks it will save a lot of money. It probably does but I loved the Freedom 100.

For a moment I thought there were two Dixons in this race.

So did Townsend apparently

 

[racingfan7]

PNW loves SeaBass

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Man really good stops for the 12 and 5. Made up a ton of time

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, crud. Rinus ran him up the wall.

 

[Kiante]

That sucks for JJ.

 

[donthaveanickname]

This could be the fastest race ever, timewise. I'm hoping for a yellow now.

You got your wish, I was hoping this would play out under green.

WTF Rinus?!

 

[FLRacingFan]

No spotter or mirrors for VeeKay this weekend I guess.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Veekay right there

 

[donthaveanickname]

Veekay right there

Sensitivity Training!!!!

 

[West]

2 races for the price of 1

 

[FLRacingFan]

Newgarden and Palou might get cooked on black tires this restart with everyone packed up again.

 

[Kiante]

Welp, Pato gave it a good go.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Yeah Josef is absolutely finished. He may not even finish Top 10.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Jo

Newgarden and Palou might get cooked on black tires this restart with everyone packed up again.

Josef dropping like nobody's business

 

[Kiante]

Scott Dixon must have gotten a prescription refill of Golden Horseshoes™

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn, Lundgaard should’ve had a solid result today. Costly mistakes.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Scott Dixon must have gotten a prescription refill of Golden Horseshoes™

They fall out of the #48.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Dixon having a chance of winning the title going into the last race is typical Dixon. He always finds a way
