She likes those WAY too well. :-)

What's with the car count. It's down to a one grade point and only a little over half full?

French Lick is only 2 hours south of Indy. Its real nice place with nice places to stay, A spa and CASINOS. You could drop her off on the way and pick her up on the way back. If she is anything like my wife she will never know you were gone racing for a week. Your bank account might know though LOL. Hope this helps your chances to go.

Did anyone else see in the PRI Newsletter that they are holding a racer appreciation dinner at the track on Wed Aug 21? I sure hope this is a typo....as that is almost a full week before anyone will be there.

What's wrong with that bad-fast Mustang?

Ed,
She has made your point, the work will be there when you get back, this Indy will be gone forever if you don't go!
Bill

My understanding is that it's on Wednesday, August 28 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Top Eliminator Club. I'm sure additional details are forthcoming.

Jeff ,whats it going to take to get in , answer JUST SHOW UP

Only need 25 more to have a bump. You don't have enough patience.

Gary Emmons is now in SS/JA. All six are one + under cars there, no slow cars entered yet. Going to be tough.

I'm not 1 under, come on Ed start packing for the trip!

Dennis, you may have to hook up the other 2 barrels for this one. I think even Jeff does that. LOL

Ed, I only have 4 barrels and they are all open! I may 2 more, lol.

So are you going to add the seventh?

Haven't decided. No better than I have been driving, it's hard to justify going that far.

108 in Stock and Super Stock. Climbing on up there.

I first attended Indy in 1996, flew back and spent the week hanging around Don Little's pit. I remember calling my Dad and telling him he had to come back one year, you just couldn't explain the magic unless you were there. We raced the Hemi's there from 2000-2006 (missed 2002) and it was so much fun. The humid weather was tough on us west-coasters and by Labor Day we were all worn out, but seeing all the cars, meeting racers we had only read about, the camaraderie of the racers, the expanded manufacturers' row, the Hemi Challenge parade, the great class racing we witnessed, well it was all so much fun.

In 2004 we didn't have enough grade points to get our drivers entered, so had Jeggie drive for us. Now it's a few weeks away and nowhere near a full field. Times have sure changed!

Best wishes to all racing there this year. I look forward to all the "live" reports!

125 in Stk and SS. Looks like the bump is coming. I think about .75 under on the final sheet in SS not counting the no shows, and about .80 under in Stock. What yall think? Comments? Cat gotcha tounge?

-.879 for stock with 141 entered. I could be wrong.

Larry I am with you think the bump will be that or higher don't no if the car count will be that high. But with the weather we have been having it could be really fast 52 degrees right now where I live and has been cooler all August

Been watching entries as I thought I might use the rain-out waiver, but ain't gonna happen. A couple of days ago with less entries I was trying to guess bump, as I would be about the same as last year at .722 under (#128 & #129 me)

With about 118 entries when I did this, it had 16 entered that fell below me. Of those 6, they were within .07, the last 6 were about .2 off.....throwing out weather conditions, I was guessing that the bump will be .687

Take out breakage, hemis that leave and a final entry of 142 and it will be all run

Jeff, you asked...there ya go

I certainly enjoyed the experience (bucket list thingy) even with all the rain. A great memory

I did my best at counting pre 1990 cars entered at Indy, I came up with 54, which equals 41.8% of the field of 129. It amazing how quickly the newer cars took over the average of the field. At 58.1% and possibly growing. It seems that the factory race cars are really getting a big bite out of the sportsman ranks. The reason that I picked pre 1990 is because they were primarily computer controlled cars after that point. I know that all the cars are not factory built, but there is quite a few of them.

Stock-.82 and Superstock-.78 low car count so far.

138 & 129. Field is set. Gonna be a bump. What's the bump gonna be. FS cars should move the bump up in stock, depending on who has the fortitude to get into heads-up racing.

It is like the Hemi cars, Indy brings them all out, other than Indy, they are not as big of a percentage of the fields(copos drag paks and cobra jets)

About 150 each class. What's the bump? Who get's thrown out in the barn? Will it fill up? Inquiring minds want to know.

With only a week out man there surly isn't a lot of trash talking going. This could be a good sign or bad!! Come on somebody needs to shed a little light on the weeks festivities. Who's going to the poll in stock and super stock and which will be the best class to watch???

As long as I don't break the car tonight's TNT, I am going to enter in F/S.
Here is my prediction: that Gary Russel will make my car look like it belongs in N/S. I will be at the bottom of the qualifying sheet and watch first round of Stock Eliminator from the stands. But here's the thing, I'm on vacation and plan on having a hell of a good time!

One more thing, I might, just might put new spark plugs in engine of the car!
Mr. Teuton, looking foward to seeing you there in good health and having fun also!

Casey Miles

As of now....of course there will be some class changes at tech time, especially the factory cars since the classes where not available unitl later in the entry process...

Up to 167 in Stock and growing all of the time.

I'm thinking .90 under right now.

i've heading to indy over the weekend, i've been to the big go over 40 yrs now, i think it will be a -78 bump in stock

What about Buckey in SS/AH? Is he going

SS/AAA should be 10.....SS/BA should be 6. (someone is entered wrong...trust me)

And Joe I look forward to all the grief from the 3 musketeers. Yeah you know what I'm talking about! I will be there Monday. :)

Hey Nitro, over half the stockers entered can run over .80 under by just starting the car and no extra effort. Looks like at least .85 to make the show.

Took a " newbie" to Indy today to watch Fuel testing. He is still pumped up three hours later. Promised to take him back next Thursday to watch the REAL cars run class and qualify. ;) Oh.....and to get a nice C/R t-shirt too!
