Best chance of winning the Indy 500 is to drive a RP car. Hello finished second to SATO last May at the "500" but is now doing just the "500' this May. I doubt Helio would ever drive a race car for someone other the PENSKE at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. What year was your oust out at Mid-Ohio?

2006 Penske won American Le mans 1+2. followed by Audi

Corvette Racing (Penske) won GT1 followed by AM

Last run for the Audi R-8

Danica is confimed to be driving Ed Carpenter's #13 Go Daddy Chevy and also the new colors for Fuzzy's cars.

SuperBowl4 · 03-08-2018, 02:14 AM

cooper barrett - first Indy Car race this Sunday! Many rookies in the series for 2018 - Nice pics - that Audi R8 #2 is BAD ASS! - Just bought a ticket on StubHub for the INDY GP, Saturday May 12, 2018 at IMS in the Pagoda Suites!

Is Fuzzy's vodka worth the price?

We drink it at the 500 as a tradition, We drank Effen* one year.(they had a car in 2006) it was like the first of the "luxury" vodkas before Fuzzy's and frankly, I can't tell much difference. I think they are priced about the same. If I buy good vodka, I buy the Fuzzy's, just cuz.,

*I still have my "I'd rather be EFFEN racing" tee shirt from 12 years ago.

One of my friends is tight with Carpenter (in the booze biz) and last year there was a 1.75 liter bottle of "100X" signed by Fuzzy and Ed, for the tent, the vodka was said to sell for $100. There were numerous bottles of regular Fuzzy's, and you could taste the difference. If you get a chance to try the "100X" go for it.

We start drinking at about 6AM as soon as the tents are up in the infield and go for about 10 hours. I don't ever recall any leftover Fuzzy's. We start back up about noon on Monday and normally need reinforcements.

Then again, we camp near the ladies facilities and give away a lot of drinks to the good looking ladies on a hot afternoon with next to nothing on....

If I am going to pay $50 for booze, I head for the Whisky, but I do buy Fuzzy's for $20-25 bucks and it's worth that.

I guess I will have to try the"Big Machine" vodka from Nashville, but I've never seen any yet.

I received a 2018 Fuzzy's / Ed Carpenter Racing promo package yesterday introducing the new driver Jordan King and Danica's final race with a couple of interesting pieces of swag.

FYI Effen Racing, made it 49 laps, Effen never raced again...

I will be there, don't have any details yet but if you bought a suite, I'll wear a jacket LOL I assume you bought a package? How stupid was it? What did you get?

Not A Danika fan, but if's she's racing for ECR, I guess for one race, I'll be supportive.

You have to admit she does look hot in this picture... She normally has a cage fighter look to her.

**BigRedChief** · 03-08-2018, 11:45 AM

You guys talk about the Indy car series in here? It’s weird having Indy cars running on the streets where l live. Walking the dog yesterday on the “track”. Tommorrow I’ll wAtch the Indy cars practice.

l was just walking the dog. They hadn’t finished the track and the cars weren’t in the paddock yet. It rarely rains this time of the year. Supposed to rain a lot on Sunday. Going tomorrow, I’ll take some pics.

SuperBowl4 · 03-08-2018, 09:20 PM

cooper barrett - I usually watch the INDY GP from the PADDOCK PRESS PENTHOUSE. The yellow shirts are pretty cool about it because hardly anybody goes to the race and that section is not sold for that race. Most people don't even know about it. Plus most race fans don't want to sit on the main straight for the GP. The PAGODA race ticket was for Saturday only at just over $200. I usually buy a penthouse ticket at $85 to have access to the Old PRESS PENTHOUSE section. I just bought it to see and go in the PAGODA. That's pretty much off limits for most. I probably won't even watch the race from there unless there is some outside access. My first Indy 500 was in 1979.
