Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
Even with today's rain, I am absolutely amazed at that green grass in the photos. 250 miles to the west and my lawn still looks like Sonoma.
While Indy sometimes (always?) is an endurance test, I still miss being there. Good luck to all those competing. |

Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
They have taken in 3 rows so far. They are parking one row at a time, then the next one pulls in. They are telling everyone to not pull up in line until the one in front of you reaches the pavement.
They are letting rigs in now and parking them right back where the others just pulled out. It could be a mess before long. I have not seen anyone get stuck, but it is getting gooky at the front of the lines. They are hoping to park everyone who is in this first lot today, but it depends on how well it is going inside the track. There are about 130 rigs in this first lot, then another 100 or so in the lot behind us. The pros are being parked at the round track. |

We are in and parked! We are up against the fence next to the track almost as far as you can go. So come on by and see us! Looks like they like about 4 more rows or so getting everyone in the first lot parked. I don't know if they will make it by dark or not.

Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
John, we wish you well and hopefully the hurricane won't be as bad as they say or somehow it will miss you. Be sure and keep us updated if possible of how you are doing. Family is lots more important than a race any day!
They have started pulling in the 2nd lot. Don't know how far they will get, but at least they are getting in as many as they can tonight. |

Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
I thought Jack might like to know his old ride is at Indy. The rigs that are in here are starting to setup. I see Gary Richard in his usual spot. It seems everyone has there favorite spot at Indy and if you get here early enough, the friendly NHRA parking crew always comes through.
