It will be the talk of the town, when the Cajun Cuda pulls up for the first round.They will be missing the goofy one but still having fun. The Cudas are red the Cudas are blue,.One only wonders, who is the shoe??? The goofy one is busy cleaning up his place. But he still made sure he is part of the race.

Busy with other stuff but who has the Phish car? How did you get it out the driveway? Do they know how to operate a prostock car?

Is this another one of those Waldo deals?

Re: “Live” from Indy US Nationals 2020

Any "line numbers" for Hemi ??? Shootout?? Eric Bell qualifies in top 3.

Re: “Live” from Indy US Nationals 2020

The parking staff worked until after the sun went down. Thank you. In my opinion more assets, people, would have made parking more palatable.
It is what it is. I hope NHRA will be like us racers with our cars, always looking at ways to improve and make it faster.

Last year we had real class racing unlike this year,

Without that its not Indy for me. Beagles miss that Indiana grass, circle track and the fries,

Social event of the year meeting all the racers from throughout the land,

Good luck to all going

I'm sure it will be a memorable event

Parking was hardly the parting of the Red Sea. Imagine Moses and Redman on the job.

Might that be Steve Kent?

Unfortunately, that is a mere pleasant memory of times gone by.

The new model, likely a future Harvard Business School Case Study is determining just how inelastic the classracers demand for racing truly is.....Keep cutting until the demand goes down. Tech, car counts, haven't seemed to affect demand, BUT applying the same method to parking, thats where things get dicey and risky.

Case in point, of perhaps cutting too much, would be Dyer, he wins class every year with his Cobra Jet, wins that trophy and checks that make the week free for him, good business for him, he now stays home.

How many wives and girlfriends that were in the line to park last year put their foot down and said, never again?

Loved ones for the most part come to support their addicted family members, and don't care about tech, quotas, etc. but they do wonder where the staff is while waiting to get pitted, and clearly notice that on race day, somehow staff is on hand to park the fans......

Heard in the pits last year: " I've passed kidney stones that were more pleasant than getting parked"

Ouch

https://external-content.duckduckgo....jpg&f=1&nofb=1Remember this one? Not my thoughts on the 'treatment' by NHRA to racers but it does keep popping in my head!!

Re: “Live” from Indy US Nationals 2020

In spite of the issues there are 891 entries there. Should be a great weekend.

Re: “Live” from Indy US Nationals 2020

If people could have enough courtesy to stay in line we would be parked a lot quicker.
Not naming names but AH guys don't think they need to wait like the rest of us.
