Danica Patrick is Amazing!!!
- Thread starter millionshopper
- Start date
Just read that she will drive some demonstration laps at Indy in a BAR Honda on saturday - thanks to Ecclestone who obviously wants her in F1 to get more spectators. BTW: isnt Bernie 5'-2" and 100 lbs even too? :biggrin: And his wife is much taller than him (Slavica - sounds not too far from Danica).
Rich,
I knew I could rely on you for a few extra pics. Oh what I would do to her...

But does she drive an NSX??

You should have seen Danica when she first started racing in INDY. She looks much better now (after losing weight and wearing makeup) than when she first started racing. Danica Patrick is no Eva Longoria but she's definately not hideous like some other females in male dominated sports.
For example: Anna Kournikova vs. Venus Williams

Does that really matter. :biggrin:
She does have Honda power behind her though. :tongue:
She is cute, but most of us would not give her a second thought if we didn't know she RACES A HONDA INDY CAR!!! :biggrin: Big addition to the hot factor. Otherwide I kinda think she fills out her racing suit like a twelve year old boy, NOT sexy unless you are MJ. I am impressed by the knucklehead who paid 46k for her broken nose spoiler. 
Anyways, pretty damn impresive when you realize the physical strain on her 100lb body to do that well in the 500. Did I mention she likes extreme yoga? Maybe give her another plus on the hot factor(good thing my wife does not read NSX-prime yet like other members).
Oh yeah - no NSX for her, her favorite car is and F360, maybe give her half another point on the hot factor.

New Danica pictures and videos
This weekend I had the special treat of being able to attend the Ininity / IRL race at the Nashville Speedway as a guest of the Rahal-Letterman team. That's Danica's team. I was able to go in the garage to get pictures of her HONDA powered V8 engine racecar (wouldn't that engine be sweet in the new NSX?). And I was admitted to the team hospitality suite (RV) where Danica came and talked to us. So I got a bunch of closeup pictures and a video of her talking. Not to mention all I could eat and drink. I was able to watch the race from the top of a team race rig, so there's a video from that viewpoint. The sound during the race is unbelievable. In the pictures and videos of Danica, it was about an hour before her race, so she had a race face on - she was really concentrating on the race I think, and just putting up with the public exposure that she was obviously bound to do. Here's a small picture of her, and then all the links to the big pictures and videos. Enjoy.
BTW, that guy standing next to her won the 2004 Indy 500 - Rice is his name I believe.
Here's a picture of her Honda powered car in the garage.
Here she is with her team. Note they are in racing suits and she's in short-shorts!
Here's long (27 megabyte) video of her talking to the crowd. My little pocket digital camera ran out of memory at the end, but there's still plenty of her talking. Danica video.
I was there as the guest of the father of a driver in the Infinity Pro series, which is one step below IRL. Here's a closeup of his car in the garage. All of them have the same Infinity engines which are not modifed much from the street car version of the engine. Note the 2 headers are connected via a pipe. I asked the mechanic why they did that, and he said to balance the engine and for sound.
Here's video during the earlier Infinity race, from the top of the race rig. These are smaller cars, so they're going at about 180 MPH. Truck Top video (6 megs).
Here's a video to capture the sound of the IRL cars going at about 200 MPH, standing at the center of the infield which is really the focal point of the curved oval. You can't see the cars, but the sound is incredible (not to mention deafening). IRL sound video (4 megs).

Re: New Danica pictures and videos
Sounds like you had a great time, Jeff!
The infinity series was one of the highlights of the USGP weekend, I thought, even though Andretti pretty much walked the entire field after the first lap.
I also have some pictures and video up here from the USGP which includes some video of the Infinity Pro Series:
Waldorf at the USGP
