overdose
I’m overdosing on televised races today. I watched on TV four of six hours of Grand-Am racing at Watkins Glen. The steamroller Scott Pruett won. Now I’m watching the pre-race show for the IndyCar race at Texas Motor Speedway. Drivers mention high cornering forces, the g that they feel when turning left, that inhibits their breathing (they breathe on straightaways). I remember that in 2001 Champ Car decided against racing due to dizzing effect of exteme lateral g. Yesterday Briscoe Inferno qualified fastest for this race. I’ll bet he hopes to win and redeem himself/restore Penske’s confidence in him. Alongside Briscoe on the front row of cars in the Indy 500 winner, Dario Franchitti. The Penske Racing juggernaut has three strong racers who can win this oval race (Castroneves has won thrice here). And Ganassi Racing’s Franchitti and Dixon (who’s won here) are more than capable of winning. Should be interesting!
