(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) I can't believe it. WTF. Michellin, in it's 6th year here, can't create a tire that will will finish the race? WTF.

NO FRENCHIE FUCKING TIRES FOR ANY OF MY CARS!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif)

QUOTE (goose2 @ Jun 19 2005, 02:34 PM)


apparently the other Michelin shod cars, while not experiencing failures, saw evidence of trouble during practice and qualifying

Yes, that figures....since only 2 Michelin shod cars (both backmarkers) did tire tests at Indy.

Ferrari had the same problem earlier in the year. The "spineless turd" still ran the race tho he had no chance, but quit after 2 tires falied....the guttless sumbitch.

Racers race.
