I've always wondered if they were a tad longer to offset the DB Large Pro frame's extra two inch longer top tube? Or if it had something to do with changing the fork rake? Does anyone know the real purpose of double drop out forks? And they didn't fit any of my bikes right including my Diamond Back. Now my memory is a tiny bit foggy, but I remember them being a good inch or two longer then a regular fork. We thought you put the wheel on the out side when cruising, then underneath when jumping to give it extra strength. Me and my friends all thought they were special heavy duty jumping forks.

“It just moves from savings to checking,” he said with a laugh. Herta also scoffed at the $25,000 fine assessed to Team Penske, which is owned by Ind圜ar Series owner Roger Penske. But it’s hard to think it was a mistake when you keep it in the car in Long Beach and expect to use it again, no matter what you say about why it was in the car.” “I don’t think everybody’s a cheater,” he said. I just don’t understand that somebody that’s been in the series for 10 years.”Īlthough Herta, along with many other drivers who spoke with the media Friday morning, expressed no sympathy for Newgarden or Team Penske, he said the ordeal hasn’t tainted his view of the series or the other teams. I don’t know how you can not know the rules. He’s driven the car for how long? I don’t feel bad at all. “It’s said in every drivers’ briefing where overtake is allowed. Newgarden spent 30 minutes citing a misunderstanding of the push-to-pass rules for his repeated illegal use of the system while streaking away to victory at St. I just thought it was Chevy gains in the offseason and maybe they have some special restart power mix and it’s off the hook.” I sent it to Kyle and he’s like, ‘Dude, it looks like he’s on overtake.’ I would have never thought that somebody was doing that. “I get a better exit and he still closes up to me. I said, ‘Man, did Chevy really gain this much in the offseason? It looks like he’s on push-to-pass.’” Herta said after watching Newgarden’s press conference Friday morning at Barber Motorsports Park. I was the one that screen recorded it and sent it to Kyle. 26 Andretti Global Honda was passed with speed and authority by Newgarden on the first restart, he alerted teammate Kyle Kirkwood to the situation. With hindsight, we now know Newgarden was illegally using Ind圜ar’s push-to-pass system on restarts when the function was disabled for the rest of the field, and in Herta’s case, when his No. Colton Herta suspected something funny was going on with Josef Newgarden and his No.
