@Sbloom_79@bobpockrass They were yellow long before the rain. The crash happened, tv said rain 30 min out. Then they swept the track. Then Simpson ran out of gas. . Rain 10 min out.
This is a piece I did 2 years ago on the May 30, 2004, Race Day tornadoes. Tom Carnegie, the track announcer, would say to the crowd, โMarion County, Marion County, a tornado warning, exit the grandstands now.โ
Definitely a memorable Indianapolis 500 22 years later.
@hoosier_hustler@WesReynolds1 In 50 races I have seen. You hit the wall that causes debris to fly in the air. You get a yellow. Road course strategy is not oval .. they did local yellow for rossi. The outrage was no full course. There is no local yellow gor oval.
