If that car was 3' off the ground, then I've got a 6' penis.
I know roads are always built by the low bidder, but that's damn near an MX track.
My ribs hurt just watching that. Can't imagine running a full race on that course.
And those are by far the smoothest roads in all of Baltimore, trust me....
Air Time! This'll make it much more fun.

Not to mention he was going 'two one hundred ninety miles an hour'. 
Proving once again that it ain't Indycars until someone hires Paul Page.
When did Indy cars get rear fenders?

This year was the debut of the new DW12.
When the street wasn't made for speeds such as that, what do you expect. Maybe they should go to Florida where a Toyota Carolla can make a right at 90 mph.

this is the first time i've actually seen what the Indy cars look like.. reminds me of the rental go-karts that have bumpers all around them so you don't get hurt..
and that car was 3 feet off the ground- if you are measuring to the top of the rear wing..
Well they were going 290 mph through there, what do you expect?
Those new Indy cars still look so weird to me. It's the front end of an open-wheel car tacked onto a Le Mans Prototype, pretty much. Come to think of it, I'd suddenly be a helluva lot more interested in Indy if the cars just turned into LMP-style cars!
Interesting track in Baltimore. Maybe not in a good way...
My spine hurts watching that.
It was interesting to watch the practice. The Porsches, Corvettes ect would just jump that section. The drivers made it look like they have been jumping with race cars for years... But the Indy and LMP cars were having issues with that spot. Those cars are just not designed for that sort of thing. I was talking to one of the teams in the paddock area with an Indy Lite (?) car that cracked their engine block and they attributed it to that bad spot on the track.
I think it is kinda funny. The drivers wanted the artifical chicane on Pratt St at the railroad tracks removed so they could go faster and have a clean shot at Turn 1. So they took the chicane out. Which leads to flying race cars.
Latest word today is that the chicane is going back in
Man i wanted to see alms so bad today but i had to work on the SAAB, anyone going tomorrow?

That's why I laugh everytime someone suggests a F1 race in lower Manhattan. I don't think you could finish a nascar race there without everyone breaking suspension bits.

I thought the taxi cabs race there every day?
Yep, the chicane was back. Most made it with no problem.
Some didn't.

I went through the streets near Times Square at ~45 MPH in a 15 passenger Ford van and I swear the front suspension bottomed more than once.
