Didn't see it, but am listening. Sounds like he whacked the wall pretty hard.

It was pretty big, similar to Kaiser and O'Ward and he pancaked to the wall.

I guess the good news is that there is plenty of time left for SAFER repair and track clean-up. Everyone will get a run in and probably anyone who wants to take another shot at it.

Sounds like the weather may be crappy tomorrow?

What they are saying. Hope the weather stays away from Columbus since I will be at Sonic Temple music festival to see Foo Fighters tomorrow night

Pippa 7th slowest and if some of these guys run again, they could give their ticket to her to the last row shootout. However, not really convinced that O'ward and Kaiser have the speed.

Their engineer says that is costing them about 1-2 mph. Not good.

Fast 9 (or maybe 7) guys probably feeling pretty comfortable.
