It's wet?  Then I'm sorry, but there appears to be a typo.  You mispelled the name at the top of hte board.  It should read "Chris Vermeulen", not "Anthony West."  You can find Westy back in 28th place

Dani's first race weekend with Bridgestones and the track is kinda dry and kinda wet?  No wonder he's three seconds off the pace.

It's raining fairly heavily here in Chicago right now (ORD) so we'll see if it clears up for qualifying...

That, or he's still hurting. Or both.

So far this Indy GP has been a real disappointment.  The track just doesn't seem very interesting, especially in the wet.  Nice to have a race at the brickyard for sure, but so far I've just been bored.

[Spidey]

Westy is trying to make a case for that third Kawi, eh?

Well, apparently Ike is headed for Indiana.  So, you just enjoy your sunday in the rain while I watch it live in 60 inches of HD splendor. 

[ZLTFUL]
