“(232 MPG last week) “
I know they are running hybrids but 232 MPG?
there’s no edit button on these threads!!
F1 has a lot more sophisticated cars and they get around 5 mpg. Somebody can’t do math. Indy cars get half that. Hybrids would likely not improve that Indy mpg by even half.

Scott Dixon 6/1

I guess it’s too much to ask that the first timer who
won it last year and comes from my little podunk hometown
repeats as winner.
GO Alex Rossi!

Nothing but Hondas and Chevys? No one else builds an Indy car?
Lol
Just add some Kaluha to it!
My buddies are there. They have access to a suite in the giant pagoda at the finish line. A one time thing. I was supposed to go. I should be there. Dang it!

Happy Raceday to All

THANK YOU TO ALL ACTIVE and VETERAN MILITARY PERSONNEL FOR YOUR SACRIFICE FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!
Nothing but ENGINES from Hondas and Chevys? No one else builds an Indy car?
But only one chassis supplier.
