You may be surprised....I heard all the et slips will show is the R/T , 1/4 mile et , and mph....That would be a BIGGIE right there........" All in fun "

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

60', 1/4 mile and MPH only would make me a happy man. then we can get back to racing without all the crutches and head games.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

It is 8:45 and they are drying the track. Looks like nearly everyone who arrived during the night have been parked.

Jim, I haven't seen Marvin yet.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Just too bad the live timing isn't working.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Bob, Live Timing just started working for me.

http://www.nhra.com/livetiming/livetiming.aspx

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

It figures, as soon as I post about the live timing its now working!

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

From live timing it looks like many of the hitters may not show their hand until tomorrow in class. Games for class ladders no less.

Great tribute by Jennifer and Jason on their idling down the track together...very touching.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

X2 on the McCormacks.

Based on the Live TIming info, 12 of the top 13 are new cars. Fezzell ran 9.38 @ 148 in AA/S. He's #1 qualifier and will receive HP next week.

1. Don Fezell - -1.216 AA/S
2. Drew Skillman - -1.185 AA/SA
3. Keith Lynch - -1.166 A/SA
4. Bo Butner - -1.151 AA/SA
5. Terry Emmons - -1.123 AA/SA
6. David Buckner - -1.104 AA/SA
7. Kevin Helms - -1.076 A/S
8. Gary Summers - -1.075
9. Derek Atwill - -1.072 A/SA
10. Randall Warford - -1.064 A/SA
11. Bill Skillman - -1.036 AA/SA
12. Mike Morgan - -1.032
13. Bo Kenney - -1.023 AA/SA
14. Paula Cotten - -0.985 G/SA
15. Wade Owens - -0.984 M/SA
16. Andrew Durham - -0.981 AA/SA

I added the classes they were running...I missed the first two dozen pairs or so. Subject to scales, fuel and if they were in the class shown on Timing.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

We have made our first run. -.84 under, hopefully gets us in the "Big Show". Most stayed in it this run, but a few did not. More later.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

First qualifying run for stock is done. I am sure Patsy will have more info. Its a little hectic for me right now, but I did manage to get a in car cam in Anthony Bongiovanni 's AA/SA CJ with Evan Smith at the wheel.

I will be back later with more in cars, but it will probably be later in the day when things settle down.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Whats the trick on getting the live timing to work?:rolleyes:

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Sometimes I simply refresh the screen and it starts working, you might also try pushing "qualifying order" and the double click on a name to see their run and then it starts flowing....

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

After I clicked Qualifying Order did it start working for me...

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Mr Josey, go to NHRA.com, log in with your membership number and password, then click on Live Timing. Same as you would do for the Audiocast (which won't be up and running until Friday).

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Evan Smith driving an automatic??? Never thought I'd see that!

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Looks like he shut off early to !

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Edit to remove Live timing raw data since DRC has it up now...

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Boo Boo. Im pretty sure they are running Bertozzi's Camaro.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

It's a sad state of affairs, if you race in stock eliminator and compete against a vehicle that is 2008 or newer within your class, you have a snowballs chance in * of winning class. Sad.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Why were there so many DQs in SS?

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011

This may be the beginning of taking care of these issues:

If there is good weather for the Dutch this could be interesting.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011
 

Thanks for the video Ken. Hope you can get a few of the SS stick cars I mentioned before. Thanks again. Ed
