They were supposed to do the rest of first round eliminations, but there was not enough time. It was a shame as the racing was good, lots of tight racing throughout the rounds. Hopefully DRC will have the numbers up later today.

Good morning everyone and we are still here. I have photos of Mondays action, but I want to hit the road so check back tomorrow as editing will take a while. We had a great heads up final in Stock and the FSS final was very cool with Bill Skillman doing a 300 foot plus power wheelstand for the win. I think I got the photos, its tough to get good ones at night.

My thoughts on how Indy 2019 went. Parking was a nightmare, and my appreciation and thanks goes to the parking crew. They were short handed and worked none stop to fix a mess that should have never been.
In my opinion they was no excuse for the way it was handled.

As far as tech went I will have to say that there were more cars looked at than I have seen it a long while. There were lots of tech officials on hand and I believe there was 12 Stockers torn down and 8 Super Stockers, with a total of 4 cars getting bounced. Checking carbs and throttle bodies for all class winners was a welcome surprise, it was hectic but they got it done.

As far a racing goes, well you forget about parking, tech and you say its cool to be at Indy. Visiting with old friends, meeting new ones. Its a crazy feeling Indy with lots of emotional swings. You want to be here, and its a long week, but with the parking fiasco and the rain delays you say to yourself, do I come back next year. Well the answer for me is.... Hell Ya!, I'll be back.

I don't get to respond to all your post, but I do read them. Without you guys and girls there would be no Class Racer, I appreciate all your support, more than you know. Its a unique community with a wide variety of a opinions, and we may not always get along, but I don't think I would want it any other way.

I'm ready to hit the road, so don't forget to check back tomorrow. My next live from will be from Maple Grove in two weeks.
