I know this is at least the 4th post about that car where you have trashed him or his car. At least I can say that he runs it BALLS out and dont give a crap about the 1.15 rule. If he did he would have lifted on the first pass.

Well put Herb Jr..Lloyd and that Volare are both class acts!

Why did Boudreau get tossed anyways? I've been out of the loop here.

THEN after the race Jim Boudreau ran the numbers on his time slip and determined that DeFrank would have won the race. NEXT Jim Boudreau took the class trophy over to Jim DeFrank's pit and gave him the trophy - saying that it looked like Jim DeFrank would have been the clear winner. The Boudreau and DeFrank camps have a great deal of respect for each other. I hope this balances Jim Boudreau's Karma account. Not that he needs it.

How do you take a trophy to give to someone else when the trophy is not in your possession? I never got mine until after the teardown. Has something changed? lol

T. Bishop got a very raw deal. Was told to pull a piston, was very hard to do in that car. Never got the pan off the car but was able to move it to the side so it could be removed. All of the specs checked out fine and the piston and rod were on the conservative side, everything in spec, but he was still tossed because the techs could not read the whole part number on the top of the piston.

Here's a man whos been running at Indy for over 40 years. Has one of the best and honest engine builders in the country, Bub Whitaker, and they throw him out for this. BS. Bub was hot.

The D/SA Camaro class winner next to Tim was also suppose to pull a piston but somehow they got a pass not to do it because the engine crain was not up to snuff for the job. I thought that when NHRA told you what they want, you are to do it.........case closed.

I'm still shaking my head about this tear down session.

the AHFS cannot and will not ever work because we can manipulate the numbers (like jimx2 did)... maybe nhra should toss them both of them under a "conduct not in the best interest of racing statute"... ???

anyway normal indy drama... maybe even better than usual !!!

jack...

gotta head back to indy now looks like roy dean is now in (#131) and running tommorow morning...
and congrats to roy on his U/SA class win, first since 1988 (in same ol wagon !)
