Thanks for the pictures and videos Ken.

The video of you riding through the pits gave a nice view of exactly how huge Indy is. The new tower looks awesome, also.

A rough aerial measurment suggests there are 41 acres of parkable grass on the west side of IRP.

Good morning all, and its a chilly morning at that. Temperature is 51 at 7:45am, and the forecast is the same for Q1 tomorrow. To say Q1 will be interesting is an understatement with AFHS in affect. Unfortunately we will see many cars lifting after the 1000ft. The only classes that will be fun to watch are the Hemi Challenge and the Showdown cars.

Hats off to Dan (welcome back), and the rest of the NHRA parking crew... with in a few hours every morning the stacking area was cleared. I have to give credit to NHRA letting us park on Sunday.

I'll be back later with more photos of the day and some more video.

90 feet, Trailer looks to be at max so 53 feet, truck cab call it 11, ARI sleeper looks like a 20 foot at least, maybe a 261 inch, plus the hitch area 7 feet or so, I may be short on the 90.
