Well with 2 days to go before “pole day’ at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the fastest speed turned was 227.778 almost 10 miles an hour slower than the all time track record. I had hoped that the IndyCar folks would go all out and try to get back era of 1919 until 1992 when pretty much every year a record was set. But that was a different era of unlimited budgets, no lawyers, and safety be damned. But those times are long gone, but that hasn’t made the sport any safer. Tony Renna was the last driver killed at the Speedway, but was going 15 miles a hour under the track record. Next year new rules and cars will introduced that will bring back the glory days
