The guys on the radio (who happen to be the Indy 500 radio team rather than MRN or PRN) said that as soon as the PA announcer mentioned another competition yellow, the entire stands around him erupted in a chorus of boos.
Tell you what, if I was there, I'd seriously ask for my money back.

If you lost the signal for a bit, I found out why ---- Bristol, CT went down for a minute.
Still trying to find the reason.

now that i think about this isnt the first major tire problem at indy. i remember a few years ago tires would explode after 20 laps. i also remember an F1 race where most the cars pulled out of the race because of tire condition.
This is, by far, the worst race I've ever seen from a fan standpoint.
so, if i understood HELton right, we can run bristol tires at indy, since pocono is the common point?

im gonna have to agree with you the 10 laps of racing than 10 laps of caution is getting very old.
did they say SOFTER?
oh sht.

The 600 I went too a few years ago was pretty bad. Set a record for cautions in a Cup race I believe.

the 2000 race at new hampshier with restrictor plates was terroble too.
tony's interview in laymens: "i'm saving my thoughts for post race and my radio show"
"tires are worth gold" classic
"tires are worth gold" classic
This is pathetic. Teams that have already had some bad luck this year and were finally making some progress getting back into the top 12 are going to be affected by this terrible Indy weekend.

Kasey Kahne says he knows why there isn't rubber on the track... it's in the car with him. He's covered in rubber bits
I think it was "owner" Tony that just did the in-car interview. ROTFL
wonder if "driver" Tony will show up after the race. hehehe

its getting to a point where they should just call the race due to the tire issue.
think the flagman's arm is tired?
Longest green flag run? 12 laps. What the hell?

My wife even commented that she sat down 30 minutes ago and has only seen like 2 laps of racing.
I still say I'd ask for my money back.

Goodyear and NASCAR's statements were weak.
"The track" doesn't have enough rubber buildup.
"This track has always been hard on tires."
I don't remember seeing blown tires every 5-10 laps in the Indy 500.

Andy, the IRL cars are about 2000lbs LIGHTER than these. Use your brains for something other than holding your ears apart.
