JV's tweet

First day of practice out of the way, it finally felt fun and natural to drive. Next step, handling the traffic -JVPR

Edit: I'll have to figure out how to do that properly. LOL 

Edit 2: check Mr Pitstop, abf1

Note that is not JV who tweet directly. He don't want to do it.

This article covers the qualifying procedure pretty well. http://www.indycar.com/News/2014/05/5-15-Importance-of-Indy-qualifying-grows

JV found some more speed and I have my fingers crossed for more.

Thanks again ab and thanks everyone for this great JV-lounge. This whole event is almost surreal when you think back to some of those times where it seemed hopeless. (to this outsider)
Enjoy everybody!!!

Thx Brad! TSN's one is really, really good.

like this one, different again.

“I was a boy,” said the 43-year-old Villeneuve. “When I look at pictures from that time, I do look like a little boy and wonder how I was taken seriously back then.”
or
Sam Schmidt ........t’s been fun. I’ve enjoyed working with him. I think he will be fine on Race Day. He needs to stay out of the junk and get to the end. Everybody has been really happy with where he has been. We, as a team, probably screwed up on qualifying, but now we are looking forward to Race Day.”
