Wrenchski Ruminates on the 2009 Indy 500 Bump Day
That John Andretti thang yesterday was a REAL piece of theatre… just before he went out the last time he had Rutherford sitting on the car pod giving him advice… WTF, is Lone Star JR Dorian Grey’s younger brother?
Foyt looks old… Hell, even Mears looks old… JR looks like he mighta been crusing pit road
with his helmet bag looking for a ride.

I’m starting to say things to kids that I heard when I was younger but the names have changed… Johncock… Mears… Rutherford… Dallenbach… Carter… Bettenhausens a set… What we seem to got here are a bunch of kids with rich daddies who never learned to drive… dues and fees… no dirt in their teeth… never wore the red bandana… goggles… never slept in the car while the rain poured down trying to figure out if it was raining at another track 100 miles away and if they could make it in time for the consi… no helmet bag-carryin’ hunters goin’ up and down the pavement tellin owners they’d put the car into the field or into the wall ALA Al Keller… wishing I could bring that movie Strange Days into reality and show the kids what memories are truly made of… here kid, jack into my brain and I’ll show you guys without roll cages on skinny tires trowing dirt over the top of the first turn grandstands… back when my eyes weren’t quite so bloodshot… rimriders on double diamonds cranking steering wheels of school bus propotions… pressurizing the fuel tank with a hand pump.
I gotta hear me one more Offenhauser before I go… just one. – Wrenchski
Leather Gloves and taped steering wheel. Looks like he wants to spit a wad at ya. Dang near looks like Eastwood.
