Has anybody heard any details on why the Caro/Wofford SS/JA Volare was DQed at the barn?

[Ken Miele]

Gordie,
I was premature on telling everyone that no one was tossed in ss. Caro was tossed for exhaust port cc's and Jeff Taylor driving DeFrank's GT/DA Cobalt was tossed for wheelbase.

Terry I was being a smartass when I said that.

Ken, have a safe trip home. Thanks for all the pictures and reporting. Sure helps us out here on the left coast.

[Larry Hill]

Well, we left Indy this morning after the 3rd round of stock. Sorry I had not been posting, we had a few issues to deal with. It looked like it was going to be another nice day there, sunny and 50s when we left, headed for the 70s.

So now for our Indy 2010. It pretty much sucked! I did enjoy seeing our old friends and meeting new ones and our "backyardigan" engine made the show. But that was it for good things. On the 2nd pass on Wed., we blew up the engine. Then on Thurs, we had to suffer thru the new cars beating up on the old cars in class. Friday, super stock class was ok. But then Friday night, Larry started having chest and neck pain. So to make a long story short, he is fine. But heart attack symptoms were there, so after a trip to the medical center at the track, then the emergency room and being admitted to the hospital, we discover that he had pulled muscles in his chest and neck whenever he put the intake with the carbs back on the car. It didn't hurt at the time, but after he cooled off in the evening, for some reason it started to hurt him and he had a headache and his blood pressure went sky high. I guess it will it you are afraid you are having a heart attack. But he is fine. But that certainly contributed to a bad Indy. We do want to thank Mike and Paula Cotten for getting us to the medical center and everything else they did for taking care of us. Also thanks to the staff at the track that did such a good job. Also thanks to Mike Cotten, Jerry and Mike Bennett, and George Widuch for loading everything up for us and getting us ready to come home. After Larry was dismissed from the hospital, we got back to the motorhome and everything was ready to go. Jerry Bennett was even going to drive it home, but we decided to stay last night and rest up and head home this morning. Larry is feeling fine today and no problems at all driving home.

But thanks for everyone's help and it was great to see everyone again.

We are probably done for this year unless he decides to get the little red truck out again. But we will be seeing everyone soon!

Bye for now!

Glad to here it wasn't serious. Being one that has had one, you can't take those pains lightly. Have a safe trip home and thank you for all the reporting.
