The schedule with revised times:

Today and tomorrow are the only days teams have to prepare for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 before practice officially begins May 14.

Rookie Orientation: Simpson, Rasmussen, Siegel (Larson, Blomqvist, Lundqvist, Armstrong completed in Oct)

Phase 1: 10 laps between 205-210 mph

Phase 2: 15 laps at 210-215

Phase 3: 15 laps 215 mph+

Veteran Refresher: Andretti, Fittipaldi, Legge

Have to do Phases 2 and 3

I assume the gates will open early as well, but I have no confirmation of that.

The weather looks sketchy today and tomorrow, so keep an eye on the skies as you head out to IMS.

Parking and seating information Note- Check gate opening time for today. Perhaps Doug Boles will demonstrate the proper way to scale a fence on a video should you arrive early.

I am interested in seeing how Kyle Larson does in traffic with the veterans. Should the three remaining rookies pass their tests in the allotted time, there will be seven rookies running in the afternoon.

Honda has had a Speedway power advantage the past few years. Has Chevy finally caught them? I’m not sure if these two days will tell us everything, but we may get a hint.

I will be at the track and provide updates all day. I also have several bits f news to catch up on.
