Why is the indy 500 so much about the military?

Errr.... because it's Memorial Day.

How many circulations do they make before they peel off of the straightaway in to Pit Road?

29-33 laps

Alonso's start was a clever one, it's a long race and giving it beans right at the start isn't going to help the strategy.

Not many adverts on BT Sport/ESPN I can report

Switching to BT. It would be so good if Alonso wins.

Found a really good stream on YouTube!

Link on the other thread, better quality the crickhd but as it's a feed of the USA TV it's full of adverts!

Alonso leads!

[RichB]

Rossi leads now...

[g4ry13]

Sato at 17-1 to win is a good bet?

Feel constantly excited watching this. I know the race is somewhat static but the sheer speed make me feel on edge. Makes F1 look like pedal cars!

Not sure about that, to me it is a bit like watching the Le Mans cars on the Mulsanne straight without the corners, chicanes and Dunlop Bridge .

[g4ry13]

Where did the back of that car go?!!

[fathomfive]

Wow, that's a big smash.

[g4ry13]

[talkssense]
