They're running pretty quick in Indy this year (230+ mph)

Ed Carpenter, the now back-to-back pole sitter, turned in a 4-lap average of 231.067 mph this past weekend.

Carpenter also won the pole last year. It's a pretty big deal around here as Ed is an Indianapolis native. Although we've adopted Tony Kanaan, we'd all love to see Ed win it this year.

Pretty impressive speeds out at the IMS.

thats pretty cool.

the other thing that impressed me was that the throttle meter showed that he was at 100% throttle pretty much the whole time....very little lift!

Nice catch. Yeah I'm a sucker for the Indy 500. I know most people here are F1 fans (rightly so) but it takes some serious skill to pilot these Indy Cars cars at 230+ lap after lap.
