Thanks for the great pictures!

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Sunday morning (715am)..... had a few isolated showers roll through last night. Most of the storms stayed to the south. Everything is wet, and we still have a light mist falling.

It's supposed to clear up before evening showers return. (high of 68 today)

We were supposed to start at 9am with sst, st, sg, ss, and sc rd 3's. Looks like there will be a delay.

Rd 1 alcohol was scheduled for 11am. We'll see what happens.

ps.... thanks for all the kudos......glad to still be here!

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Here is the Peanut deal

In the early years of the Indy 500, they would line the cars up on the front stretch before the race started. A spectator walked up and pour peanut shells in front od the front row and said it was good Luck. On the first lap they crashed and one of them died. Every since Peanuts are TABOO at the track.

Scotty Cannon still that way over peanuts today....
In the ole Pro -Mod days He would run people out of his pits if he saw peanuts on them

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Tom,

Great pictures & reporting as always .... Thanks for the weather reports ... Good Luck ...

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

3:27pm sunday.
another rd in the books.

top sp and top dragster running, alcohol rd 1 in the lanes.

super street and stock rd 4 just called to the lanes

sorry.... kinda hectic here.... couldn't get anymore pics yet today.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Tom,

Great pictures! I appreciate you posting them all. I had a great time chatting with your Dad at the trailer.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Jason are you trying to tell me that you know more about suspensions and chassis set up then MPR. My CJ is within .25 of an inch to the good in all areas of the rule book. As per NHRA tech after winning class in NC two weeks ago.

I bet you can click off the top end lights with the front facia by hitting the brakes just right, correct? I used a 3 in dryer vent in the front of a street car to do that same trick.. Anywho, happy racing...Good Luck and enjoy your new CJ'S.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Tommy, thanks I kind of thought that but is surprising> Did you get a chance to talk to Larry? Just wandering about Mike and Eddie.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Depending on how loose the front end is, it's probably tripping all the time. The finish line beams are pretty high. I'd be surprised if Chuck's ever *missed* the stripe with the nose. The nose is pretty short on the CJ's. It'll make a difference, but not as much as many other cars out there.

Doesn't have to be all chassis. A shorter tire combination will lower a car. Def. looks bbaaaaaad! Just glad to see a CJ that's not all white.

Re: Live from Indy... pics from Sheehan

Thanks for the photos, Tom. Puts a bit of a brighter note on a Monday morning.
