Anyone got any objections if I edit it?Moriori July 2, 2005 09:40 (UTC)
I believe the information inhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_500#Qualifying_procedure could use some updating/clarification. But I can't find a clear/concise enough explanation of the rules to be confident in making the necessary changes myself.
One thing that seems missing is with regard to the "normal" vs "fast" lanes when making subsequent attempts (which I think is only used on Saturday, not Sunday?). From the source below, it looks like the statement "the previous time is still forfeited unless race officials waved off the attempt because of weather" is only applicable with regard to Sunday's last chance qualifying (positions 31 through 33), or on Saturday if you're in the "fast" lane. Re-qualifying attempts on Saturday from the "normal" lane apparently do not cause your previous time to be forfeited.
The statement regarding Sunday's last chance qualifying (31 through 33) "These drivers are then given only one attempt to re-qualify using the same four-lap format" also seems to be incorrect; it looks like they get unlimited attempts until time expires.
I'm also not sure if there's still a three-attempt limit for any Saturday or Sunday sessions.
