Fast Friday, BSA ‘N Stuff

So in case you were unawares, Dale Coyne Racing has just unveiled Alex Lloyd’s Boy Scouts of America 100th Anniversary livery for this year’s Indy 500, as the No. 19 Dallara/Honda/Firestone entry will feature this white ‘N gold paint scheme.

Alex Lloyd“This is amazing to be a part of history, and driving the 100th Anniversary car in this year’s Indy 500. . . . In my wildest dreams, I would never have imagined from when I was a Scout in England 15 years ago, that I would be driving the Boy Scouts of America IndyCar, let alone during the BSA’s 100th Anniversary.”

Hmm? Why does the “Handle” BSA make me think of a long forgotten Motorcycle?

Fast Friday
For those of you Indy Car Diehards... You may wanna set them recordin’ devices to catch the Fast Friday action on Versus; 12:30-2PM. They’ll also be covering this weekend’s riveting Qualifying action with Monster Airtime; 8AM-3:30PM Saturday & 9AM-3:30PM Sunday, as I for one WON’T be bothering to try listening to the IMS Radio Network via Indycar.com this weekend...

ALL TIMES PACIFIC – ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTINGS!
And yeah, its only practice, so I don’t know whose getting the proverbial “Tow” around the Speedway, etc, as SHOCKING! Scott Dixon has been the Fastest Man on track the last two days... Although I have to say ‘TAG, nee Alex Tagliani has been looking good, especially whilst fighting a lingering case of Bronchitis; and how ‘bout that Hideki Mutoh, eh?
