- Nice. I liked the concept of the driver being able to do some of the work! Imagine that now ...
- Formula One is always faster then Indy
- Did the current car get fuel? I didn't see it.
Plus seriously- they didn't even wipe his windshield. ;) - Cool video.
I bet that was a beer the driver took a swig of in the 1950 video. ;) - Granted there are more people doing the service,but the technology of a tire change and fueling a race has come a long ways also.
In 1950 the driver could eat lunch at a pit stop.
Now the driver does not have time to sneeze! - Wait,, I blinked, Did the red car get tires?
- Well when you go from 3 to 5 people over the wall Counting the guy with the fire extinguisher, to 21 servicing the car.
At least NASCAR still has a limit of like 5 over the wall. fj12ryder wrote:
Indy could have been faster if that guy had a bigger hammer. :)
Can you imagine a team owner doing that now days?
Mr Penske , hand me the BFH !- No fair! They had like 50 million people workin on that car!
- Indy could have been faster if that guy had a bigger hammer. :)
