Others were not quite so dismayed, including Conquest Racing team-mates Jaime Camara and Enrique Bernoldi, both of whom are making their first visit to the Brickyard.
"Actually, having the practice session cancelled was not too bad for me," Bernoldi confirmed, "I'll be able to jump in the new car tomorrow when practice resumes, and it gave the Conquest crew a chance to finish up the cars."
Not running gave Camara another day to get over the effects of the crash he suffered on Monday, even though he had been given the all-clear to get back behind the wheel.
"Usually, I'm not happy when it rains because it takes track time away from the teams and it slows down the development we have planned for the month, but it was good for me because I didn't lose another day on track, and tomorrow we are going to start again with everyone else. Because of my crash, we were a step behind, but now we will be caught up, so we're kind of happy that it rained today. We needed to do a seat fitting and finish the cars."
"It just wouldn't be the month of May at Indy without a couple rain days," fellow Brazilian Vitor Meira concluded, "We knew today and tomorrow could be an issue as far as the weather is concerned, so we'll just have to wait and see how things play out. We learned yesterday that our car is fast, but we'd really like to work a little more on our qualification set-up so we can be prepared for Saturday. This is the same problem for everybody though, so nobody is going to gain an advantage until we get back on the track."
Practice is scheduled to resume between noon and 6pm today [Thursday], with Fast Friday penned for a similar time 24 hours later. Pole Day is Saturday.
