Talk:Indianapolis 500 records

message: That has got to be a joke.  1992 had air temp, without wind chill, at 51 on the master control tower, and our family had drinks in coolers to keep them warm, at thet track itself.  The modern warnings Firestone gives about not being able to guarantee tire safety under fifty degrees is because of 1992, the coldest major race ever, anywhere; I'm changing it. --Chr.K. 08:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Firestone under the Japanese flag? I know they're owned by Bridgestone now, but certainly for most of its 62 victories it was an American company without question. Perhaps two flags would be more appropriate. 99.2.149.85 (talk) 10:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

message: What is this table trying to say?  I don't understand it at all.  If it is trying to show fastest times over a certain number of laps, it can't be right.  There have been race laps faster than Kanaan's 217.128.  And surely groups of laps in the 1996 race were among the fastest.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.42.166.204 (talk) 21:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Observing the scoring during the race, I believe they broke the interval average speed records for 70, 80, and 90 laps during the 2012 race. At one point, they were well over 198 mph ave, and were over 180 for almost the entire first half. I'm having trouble tracking down official scoring sheets, but those need to be addressed if they are found. Doctorindy (talk) 16:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

message: *There seems to be a pretty excessive overuse of flag icons on this page, which is being increasingly discouraged on Wiki. Especially in the non-table lists. It makes it difficult to read.
*Why are cells in tables grouped/justified to make them tall and narrow? Most people view computers on widescreen 16:9 screens, which makes narrow tables really unnecessary.
*Still trying to delve into whether we need this extent of conversion to (km) and (km/h) that is typically shown on this article. It is not a scientific-based article, and the conversion means very little except mentioning that 500 miles = 803 km.
*There are quite a bit more 'records' that I can add here from other sources. Will do in time.
Just a few friendly notes. Doctorindy (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm looking at the "consecutive victories" & other tables, & I'm seeing "career victory" stats having nothing to do with the subject of the table. Why? This seems really pointless, not to mention confusing.  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 23:40, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
