Saturday's Forecast looks good, Sunday's doesn't.

i was watching the weather channel, and the chacne for rain starts out at 10%, but then by noon-2p, it is up to 30%. Expect a full day of practice today. Dont see it raining there till after 6p....correction...maybe not. 50% chance to rain by 4p. Still should get a good day of practice in.

I sure hope they get some paractice in today. Thanks for the update.

It's raining here in St. Louis this morning and it's heading east toward Indy. :( Pray there is a northly wind to push it south!

Some showers on the radar.

BTW, does anyone know how to get the video from IndyCar.com as full screen? I know there's a way to do it... I've tried right-click, double click...

On my screen, there's a small square just to the right of the svideo screen - looks like a dot on the "I" in Indianapolis - click that to go full screen/escape to go back to small screen

Yay! No rain yet!

Burgs... like was stated, got to http://www.indy500.com then in the big window on the sight, make sure you have the big right arrow. Click on it. If the scrolling subjects go by before you can click on it, at the bottom right of the frame there should be a series of 5 white circles. Click on the left most one and that should take you back to the subject that has the right arrow on it. The video should start immediately. Once it does, on the right side of the screen you will see the words Indianapolis 500 written sideways. At the bottom you will see gray square. Click on it and that will take it to full screen. Hit 'esc' to revert back to small screen. Hope this helps.

The weather is breaking up at the Indiana border is kinda breaking up. We may see close to a full day of practice today.

Scoring says Alex Lloyd just crashed, how bad?

Practically identical to the crash Camara's had Sunday. Lloyd went into the wall in turn 1 very hard backwards.

double post

yeah it was a pretty bad crash. he just did a 223 before hitting the wall so it was a high impact. his car is pretty damaged, but also the safety crew was getting the board ready to get him out then video went to commerical. hope is okay and ready to qualify.

alex has sore neck and is getting transported for x-rays.

Sheesh. Indy is unforgiving for Rookies sometimes.
