J Allen, I know he knows. 192 so far. Wow. I think you will be King of the Corvettes. I think they got 324 B/SA. You bringing your winter wear?

Re: Indy
 

Mr. Jeff,
Please load the beer in the hauler prior to departure. As low as the oil prices have gotten, we need to burn some of that precious rare Louisiana crude!

Re: Indy
 

Brett, you are right. That $40 price is killing us. Oh well, war in the middle east is coming so it will go up. My hauler is full of spare parts. Yall got room in one of yours?

Re: Indy
 

NOW we are talking Indy !!!

Re: Indy
 

We're all filled up with all of the same things to attempt to keep up with that Southland bunch! But maybe we could squeeze in a beverage or two somewhere.

Re: Indy
 

Uncle Jeff I'm praying for 110 degree heat so everyone is slow...lol

Re: Indy
 

Really ? insider info?? any stocks you suggest to invest
in Jeff?? Always have an eye out for opportunity...
Kallita air public?

Re: Indy
 

4000 ft air would be nice

Re: Indy
 

I agree!!! Or maybe if nhra would turn off any type of hp factoring, and let's let em all rip!!! LOL

Re: Indy
 

Heck, 4000' air is normal in Div 4. Everybody down here has tune ups for that.

Re: Indy
 

I vote for hot and chitty weather, my car slows down but not as much as the fast folks do.

Re: Indy
 

Stuck on 193. Who ain't in yet?

Re: Indy
 

The entire remainder of the C/SA contingent that are terrified of that pink car. ;)

Re: Indy
 

Well you see what happen was....lol with all the nay say'er and the room needed for fine liquids the Pink car may not be in the trailer! With this bunch you never know what we will show up with...!!!

Re: Indy
 

Still Stuck on 193. Somebody go to the bank and get the $360.

Re: Indy
 

Mr. Jeff, I have bank approval but do not have a stocker. Already in SC and SS. Can I do a "threesome"?

Re: Indy
 

Jeff, please call Lee at 8307791043/ Thanks.

Re: Indy
 

Spyfish, you should keep an old stocker laying around just cause. I'm sure your banker can help you. Maybe a new Challenger? How about a new shoot out car? I got several for sale.

Re: Indy
 

I am counting cars cause I got nothing else to do. 7 A/SA, 16 B/SA, 2 C/SA, 5 D/SA, 7 E/SA, 9 F/SA, 10 G/SA, 9 H/SA, about 60 new cars, but can't tell anything except there are 60 since I don't think NHRA has FS/X and FS/XX on the available classes. Looks like 5 A/S for the unofficial shootout. 30 total Stick Shift cars in the regular classes, can't tell in the FS stuff. Super Stock still has 23 new car/new motor cars for the 23 new classes. That's not going very good. About 20 AH cars, I'm sure there will be more. 5 D/S cars including Sheila 'Chick with a Stick' Holt (and I'm not going to tell everybody they got two Margarita machines going for the week). Funny thing, there are two camps with two machines each, both from Div 4. Must be something in the air down South. For a small fee I will locate both of them. One got a White Russian machine also. Double fee for that one. One more B car and it's a 5 round race.

Re: Indy
 

Any reason so few C/SA cars? Normally a big class.

Re: Indy
 

Can we have a moment of silence.... For the LT-1. Combos not able to compete do to eating to much at good air at Charlotte buffet

Re: Indy
 

James, did you type that with a straight face?

Re: Indy
 

That is pretty good for a guy from New York. Was that the same buffet that the 396 was attending? Must have been the dessert.

Re: Indy
 

That's funny! Unless you have an LT1! On a side note, only 3 LT1 cars qualified last year out of about 9 or 10 total. The fastest qualified was -.92, and after a 12hp hit I'm pretty sure that will make it very difficult to get in.

Re: Indy
 

I know I'm not an Indy runner like all of you but thank you for the "moment of silence" james and I wish I had the availability to go and try to see if I could qualify regardless of the new HP! So it shouldn't scare people away from going, just work harder on your *****!

Re: Indy
 

Now Bubba, I will inform you of the 'Not Attending Indy' rule from some years back. I don't think it has been changed, but other rule changes in Stock and Super Stock have changed the meaning and effect of the 'Not Attending Indy' rule. Basically it says you must not be able to qualify with at least two combinations that have been factored out, ruled out, or somehow out; but you have to try at least three years after said factoring or ruling before you can not attend Indy. And there are multiple examples available, none of which are important now, but if you don't qualify for the exemption, you are supposed to be on the list that has shrunk from 193 to 192. You can thank me later.

Re: Indy
 

Weather:; Bowling Green, high 80's, no rain, full moon the 28th Louisiana Rougarou might be out, Indy, 80's, low chance of rain 20% a couple days, 1 st quarter moon on the 5th.

Re: Indy
 

Mr. Jeff, more dropping out of stock. You have to stop scaring these folks!

Re: Indy
 

Jeff isn't a scary guy. After 6 years of effort, Mopar has only 9 new Challengers entered. Half are probably Louisiana cars. Selling a few more would help boost the count.

Re: Indy
 

I will be withdrawing also. My father suffered a stroke last week and we have been in Waco since. Hope everyone has a good race. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Re: Indy
 

Mike, sure sorry to hear about your Dad. I was looking forward to catching up with you.

Re: Indy
 

Thanks Greg. We were really looking forward to Indy and seeing everyone. We will look forward to next year.

Re: Indy
 

Bruce, I am a scary guy. Sometime I scare myself. I don't know where the DP's are. There must be more than 9.. I got 5. I will look at the list and get back to you on that. You running AA, A, or B?

Re: Indy

Re: Indy
 

No Westcotts?!?!?

Re: Indy
 

Final days to enter. Stock about 196 I think and SS 166 or so. B/SA the big class. Sherman still the king as far as I know @ 9.91 in BG this weekend in testing. Some AH cars warming up down here. Now have 3 C/SA cars entered. I guess the 2010 Cobra Jet will be 15 hp higher for Indy. And the day is not over in BG. Got some hitters here. Over 200 Stk and SS cars. Some blown Shoot Out cars pulled way back in BG. Running 8.80s and have been 8.30 and 8.40. Indy should be great. I would think there are cars parked already.

Re: Indy
 

Jeff, parking does not start till Monday, all NHRA crew in BG. We will be staged Sunday either in the grass or staging lanes. We are 31st in line .... good luck in BG .... Randall you got an HP hit before Indy ... SUP?

Re: Indy
 

The final revised version. Tricky tipster to follow


Spyphish is coming from way down South,
looking to do more that run his mouth.
Say's it's now time to shake and bake,
new Reher & Morrison power to "Calm the Quake".

With a new record the Earth Quake is comin,
Wolkitz Bro's have her hummin.
They got a new pole to go phishin with,
think they got the hook for ole Spyphish.
Rector scale rumbled from a quake in excess,
But a lot of work going on from a Cajun in Texas.

Gone this year is some of the bling,
But the Bullet's driver can sure make her sing.
Reloaded with a new Silver Bullet in the chamber,
makes the Lone Ranger shake with anger.
Keepin the chassis they all knew,
Another by Roth @ MR2.


Rumors & tales, swirl about Silver Bullet & Bales,
After the first blast he won't be last.
Read between the lines and you will see,
more than fried chicken this year at Indy


With his dad by his side, Welker's back,
Just hopes the Silver Bullet keeps Frito,
He's a Quack.

The Pro Stock effort came and went,
Hemi should work better for Steve Kent.

Lil Joe's been testing to stay in the mix,
Drivin, shiftin & hittin with a big "STIX".

With the 4 speed in, Mantus & Parker will be back,
If they need help, they will call Donnie Mac.

Warfish is active with the Island Hemi Dart,
makin Chuck and Steve look good from the start.

With Armstrong Power and son Colton by his side,
Mark Howes has the car for a wild ride.

Doug Fazzolare has a new car and comin to play,
bringin power with him from Ray in PA.
He's been around Hemi's for a long while,
a win here sure would make "Big Joe" smile.

Dr D has been layin pretty low,
but all packed up and ready to go.
Installed a 4 speed to have some fun,
he hopes it last more than just one run.

Cake will be drivin a 4 speed now,
leg & arm moving real fast, make you say WOW.

Berry & Warburton comin with a plan,
a homebuilt piece from the popcorn man.

The recent setback is OK, Jason will get it right,
Candy Cuda the best thing out of West Virginia,
since Jesco White.

Wendell is comin from across the border,
lookin to better last years R/U in short order.

The change in power gives Keyes the nod,
last years guy couldn't get a push rod. eh?

Hell's Hemi said "I told you, I'd be back",
With his own power Jr's ready to attack.

Palliot Bro's Dart will be there,
You'll know by the smell, Cajun cookin in the air.

Mr. Collette's been around but new to the class,
hopes the Dixie Hemi will kick some azz.

Cleve's been keepin em safe in Memhips, Tenn.
how his Hemi will run, can't wait to see.

Missouri Mule gonna put on some hurt,
with power again from Specialty Motorwerks

Wofford & Caro with engines inc.
pro stock help won't let em sink.
Hope there's not a roll back involved this year,
sure glad it didn't happen in high gear.

A pit spaced is saved and the grass cut low,
Where is big Dan they all want to know.
Still looking for an entry from the Gold Coast Hemi,
Not the same with his shake and shimmy.

A brand new entry was just received today,
The "Texas Twister" wasn't ready to play.
so the Hemi Dart will have to do,
another "Camo" motor, that makes it two.

Re: Indy
 

Maybe bailed because they're so overfactored?

Re: Indy
 

A few weeks ago on Wheelzup Radio, Charlie said that he and his Dad would not be in the Hemi Challenge. He also said that Rick Houser wouldn't be in it. Charlie is devoting all of his attention to his Pro Stock project which he hopes to debut shortly after Indy.
