Gateway and Shifting

[tjgje]

Do drivers have to shift at Gateway? It's kind of interesting to look at last years results. http://www.indyracing.com/stats/trac...eway&year=2001

Only 4 cars on the lead lap. Giafone out due to handling problems after 44 laps?

Looks like the two infiniti's did ok last year. I wonder if Scheckter will be able to finish. Seems like you wouldn't want to be overly aggressive at this track.

I'm trying to decide if I should make a change to my TSO fantasy league team. I would like to add Al Jr. but that would mean dumping Horny or Helio. I also have Scheckter and Rice on my team and I don't have much confidence in them this week.

Yep! Downshifting into 1, upshifting coming out of 2.Maybe 1 upshift down the main straight.

The Penske boys have been very tough to beat at all of the shorter, non-pedal-to-the-metal tracks this year.

There's your Fantasy tip of the week.

Marlboro Team Penske is tough to beat every where they go.

Sarah's best finishes have come at the flat, handling tracks - Homestead and Nazareth.

This is absolutely true. There are those who still claim she is not a good driver...
