Indy
 

OK, Indy is here again. What is the scoop, rumors, A/S, A/SA shootouts, who will win B/SA(the most populated class in Stock), how many SS/AH cars, I missed Charley's broadcast last night, is he in SS/AH, will Comp get a full field, 200 in each popular class, new cars, old cars, in between cars, who's coming down, who should come down, who has never been down (certainly not us. I own a slot back there), Famous Red Man in the house, beer, more beer, tech, somebody help me here.

Re: Indy
 

Charlie ain't going, says the car is still in the trailer.

Re: Indy
 

I think B/SA will be hard to win because of a new pink dodge challenger from Louisiana...lol

Re: Indy
 

Will anyone from the D4 Corvette Contingent challenge for the B/SA title?

Re: Indy
 

The pink car could possibly have a light weight driver which could be trouble for not only C/SA but just about any class it fits in! Just saying! I'm sure us from D4 will have a good showing no matter what class we are in. Any early predictions on what's it going to take to when FS/X or FS/XX? Or will the other classes draw more attention?

Re: Indy
 

How could it run C when it falls at 8.00?

Re: Indy
 

Sir it's ran C/SA the only two times out so I'm guess somehow or another it fits in. And I will correct myself I did mean B/SA but I know it can run C as well.

Re: Indy
 

Maybe I didn't decipher the correct application from the "insider" conversation.

We're talking about a new, as in 2015 , Dodge Challenger. Not an FX combo, correct?
Don't think the color matters, but a production car...
What's the cubic inch and hp rating?

Re: Indy
 

They're talking about the real factory 392, rated at 380 down from 485 in a 2013, a natural C car.

Looking forward to my first Indy (racing, not spectating) this year!

Re: Indy
 

Thanks Andrew.

Someone said "new". Thought that meant 2015, ...knowing the Teuton operation.

Good luck at Indy!

Re: Indy
 

All the LS1 type 'vets are players in A to D in stock. Lots of good 396/405 Chevys, most will run in the 9's, but maybe not at Indy.


My time is up got to go back to work.

Re: Indy
 

That Pink Dodge is fast trust Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Indy
 

Jeff, I figure 25 AH cars since Westcotts & Houser not coming. That's about right, just when we are ready for them. Watch out for Kent and Bales. See you there.

Re: Indy
 

if they do...... they will most certainly get some HP

Re: Indy
 

There are two red Copo's coming from Shreveport and maybe some guy named Stanfield that used to be pretty good.... I'm looking forward forward to it! S.Bell

Re: Indy
 

Me. Stephen what class will those copo's be in? Just want to make sure I get my gator bait ready for them! Lol!!! Not sure what classes we will be in but all knows the Teutons come stacked!

Yes the pink car is a showroom
production 392 car...get ready cuz even if the big man is driving VooDoo does wonders!!

Re: Indy
 

I'm driving the two Copo's in FS/XX and FSS/B. We are working on Greg and Aaron's plans....

Re: Indy
 

Im betting on the Big Man and Voo Doo and of course the 392. Should be fun to watch

Re: Indy
 

One very wise move by NHRA was to allow 200 in each of the most populated classes which I think everyone knows now. Anyone who wants to go should be there. Nice move by NHRA. Next week Grade 2, sixty or so in Stk now and nearly 50 in SS. Now they just have to get the pro classes to show up like we do. I am sure the pro stock people will have something to say. In our domain, I wonder how many cars will be in stick that were automatics last year. I wonder what it will take to get in the 128? I know we built a new motor for SS and it has all the best, and I think it will get in, but not really sure. It looked good at No Problem; very hot and very high barometer so time will tell. We should know at the test session in Bowling Green. I have a new Voo Doo thing working on hp. Nasty looking thing. I also ordered a small stuffed alligator, but I don't know if it will be in for Indy. It will look nice on the hood of a Challenger. For you Mopar folks, Mopar will have some engineers at their thing on Thursday on motors, chassis, and general stuff. Might be of interest. That gathering might move to my tent after as they can't serve the proper beverages. I'm sure there will be much more as Indy gets closer.

Re: Indy
 

The Class Nationals on August 21 - 23, followed by Indy on September 2 - 7. It doesn't get any better than that; I can hardly wait. Whoever is going to either or both races, I will see you there!

Re: Indy
 

No 1000' racing at Columbus! Will be a good test for Indy where people can actually run them out without worrying about HP.

Re: Indy
 

Rumors and tales swirl about Silver Bullet Bales,
But after the first blast he won't be last:cool:

Re: Indy
 

Sir I always count you in! I thought you may have knew of a couple more copo's! Your never overlooked in these games!

Re: Indy
 

I may know of another COPO that could be a possibility.

Re: Indy
 

About time a Big Dawg speaks! Brett even though you have one of every flavor of cars your considered a Southland team member lol! I know you can carry the big stick if you would like!

Re: Indy
 

Yeah yeah! Maybe old faithful white may make a showing? Of course these are all maybes.

Re: Indy
 

No new cars. Just trying to get these to work.... S.Bell

Re: Indy
 

I believe this is the new manifold for the 426, it has mopar part numbers and all!!

Re: Indy
 

You guys don't need that contraption. I have a few "nitro sponges" left over from the hemi shootout a few years ago....ask your father, he knows what I'm talking about. <lol>

Re: Indy
 

Mr. Chuck we would refer to that as the good ole days right? Lol

Re: Indy
 

Joseph I guess I Represent Southlands used car and Truck Dept!!!!! LOL

Re: Indy
 

Mr. Sammy you were part of the team before I was born! Lol! You have the only Carvette with Southland on it!

Re: Indy
 

485 down to 380 . 105 HP. deduction.? Golly almost sounds like a
"bogus" combo as they say??

Re: Indy
 

Randy,
What is a "Bogus" combo?

Re: Indy
 

Well Bob. Great to hear from you. Need to call you.
From what I understand it is a under rated combo
is not ?? Not totaly sure my self??
If it is in the guide has specs and hp. ratings seems
legit to me but i don't know ??

Re: Indy
 

I believe a "bogus" combo to most is any car that has FS on the window or is not a Chevy. But hey I've been wrong before! Hehe

Re: Indy
 

Or a lower classed "Less than cool " type combo.:rolleyes:

Re: Indy
 

All Stockers are WAY cool in my book sir!

Re: Indy
 

Great to hear ! Don't see many of those stickers
anymore in Div 5 anyway. Those were from Stan Holt
right ??

Re: Indy
 

Yes sir! Mr. Lupe Tortilla him self! Best frozen margarita's in the USA!
