Since only one half of the competitors will be racing at a time, that could open up a lot of guest commentating opportunities on Sunday

Yes don't worry Jonathan, I for sure will be commentating the heat I do not take part in.

For the commentor job, send me your cv, I'll study all the cases, and I recall you if your candidature is retained.

Have the results of the qualfication heats influence on the starting grid of the California 500 on Oct 26th? Or is it just a short race weekend on sunday?

We do a normal qualifying session which is the grid for the 500, then the even numbers of the qualifying session go into heat one and the odd into heat two.

So no, they have no effect, you could qualify on pole, crash out from heat 1, and still start from pole for the 500.

Now i've had a good drive around the place, fantastic job guys, i know i saw it coming together piece by piece, but the detail astounds me! This is a real gem of a track build!

I will second that...even 3rd it!!

An additional detail provided by Alberto  Functioning caution lights for the race (not a mandatory download, but helpful to have!)  Added to the first post as well.

#74 please and yes, I am sure I want to take this car

If you have qualified for heat 2 do you stay on the server while heat 1 is run or leave the server and then re-join after heat 1 has finished?

After the 2-lap qualifying session is over, heat 2 qualifiers (those with even numbered slots for the 500) will need to leave the server and then re-join after heat 1 has finished.

Jason, now I know what you meant by calling the McLaren a "knife edge car"

Health and safety will be taking a visit to Ontario....

Well now that you are dead, I guess we can free your car. Or whatever remains of it

Mercedes wants a word with you, now you've combined the Levegh and Dumbreck crashes.

And I think Alberto needs a new pit crew, looks like yours guys in red/white.

I think I'll be glad to receive a 10/10 for style points  

Also, I think if that happened in race and Jason was commentating, that would have received the "OH NOOOO" of the century

Is that an entry for the long jump, high jump or pole vault?

It appears the pedestrian fence behind the pits ripped the Offy from the tub

Actually, it was that fuel tank thing there that ripped the engine off, if you look closely, you can see it

Good thing there's not a pit speed limit, or we'd have to add an altitude limit as well.

#73 David Hobbs | Eagle 72-Offy GY please

What is going on?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Fitch hasn't called his car yet? And nobody has claimed Jerry Grant's car?

Could we actually have qualifying for a Triple Crown race with no appearance of either of the "toilet seat specials"? Say it ain't so, Robin Miller!

C'mon, Fitchy! Channel your inner Bobby Unser. Or is it lost on a snowmobile, again?
