Yay! The Indy qualifying equivalent of an Uber.

Thanks Lukas!

And congrats Jason on pole, and everyone else.

Still pinching myself over here. Shocked

Thank you David Jaques for the help and my broadcast team for all their hard work!

Congratulations Mr. Jason White, great job. Well done!

Well done Jason :first:

Ended up watching most of the broadcast, really great job everyone in the commentary booth and all the HSO admin :top:

Well, I didn't come close to extract the most out of the car, but I put it on the grid. Is that enough to honour his memory, considering he was bumped in 1988? Smile

Now to get down to work, need to see the checkered on good shape next Sunday! :conduit:

Half of your excitement should go to David Jaques, who sent me the setup and asked me if I can qualify for you Wink

Congratulations on the pole Professor White. :clap:

An excellent broadcast, I watched it all. :clap:

that was close. I was using default setup with minor changes. No speed at all

Well for all those who had a hairy qualy with a razor edge setup, I really hope you guys use instead a safe setup for the race, even if it is slower. We are not really looking forward to the prospects of a 500 mile race lengthened by continuous yellows due to crashes or spins caused by poor setups and lack of practice.

If in doubt, ask in the forum for some safe setup please.

Great work Lukas! A lot of pressure over your shoulders!

Very happy here.

Thanks for Juha Bos for the setup help

You're welcome Bruno. The Porsche isn't a complete disaster, even with its cooling issues. I qualified it 21st in 2017 and ran within the top 3 towards the end (it was only a 28 car field, but still, that didn't make my car any better). Stay out of trouble and you'll go a long way.

I qualified my slightly upmarket March in 8th, which is where it belongs. It would have required a string of PB's to keep Mick off 7th place. The March chassis isn't good enough to challenge the Penskes and the Lola with similar power plants. Thanks to Alberto and David for helping out with the setup and finding the final two tenths.

After my own run I spent the rest of the evening taking care of living timing and occasionally hopping into the broadcast booth. My enthusiasm and knowledge are no match for Jason's though. I hope you all enjoyed the show.

Congrats on pole Jason!

Great broadcast!

Gotta say, I was a bit surprised at the Final Q results. The Top 10, wasn't surprising, as I knew the Chevy's and Buick's would all be up there. Not trying to speak bad against Jason or anything, but I don't think any of us expected him to put that Buick on the Pole, well, except Jaques. Was a helluva run man, I was impressed.

My apologies to Lukas for causing the minor Heart Attack early on, I thought I was in trouble and wouldn't make my time, turned out to be a false alarm. But, at least you were ready for the run in Michael's car. Which, by the way, that was a Helluva job pulling off the George Snider and jumping in a car on Qualifying day and sticking it in the field. Might start calling you Ziggy!

As for my run....I was NOT Happy at all, yeah i'm in the field, but I'm further back than where I was expecting it to be. Not sure what the Temperature difference was from when I did my run to what it had been all week. Sorry to say Alberto, but I wasn't loose, I was tight. I could not get the car to run down to the Apex properly until the Last lap, that 42.9 should've happened on my 2nd, 3rd, AND 4th Laps. I probably could've fixed it with a Rear ARB adjustment, but I was too terrified that I would go too far and It was clear I was in the field, so long as I just completed the run. So I just took what I had.

Oh well, off to Sunday, and trying to break this streak of Indy non-finishes, they say your Home Race is always the hardest, and I can speak from experience and say this is 100% true.

I would appreciate any help with the Lola T88 :hello:

To see the chequered flag would be great.
