Cutoff is .889 under for # 128 and also -.889 for # 129

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Poor guy comes all the way from England to be on the wrong side of a tie for the bump spot! :(

I assume that is a "who did it first" deal?

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

It took less this year to be qualified in the field than it has taken for the prior 2 years

For those interested in what the cutoff point in Stock @ INDY has been in years past, here is what it took to be # 128

2018....-.889 ( no AHFS )
2017....-.893 ( no AHFS )
2016....-.893 ( first year of no AHFS)
2015....-.870
2014....-.882
2013....-.786
2012....-.787
2011....-.631
2010....-.744
2009...-1.016
2008....-.933
2007....-.873
2006....-.890
2005....-.663

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Bum deal coming from England and missing the cut by .000. (Ha, missed Tony's reply)

What do they allow on the late model Camaro that makes it any different from Factory Stock? Are the shipping weight and horsepower rating close to reality?

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Don't forget, people have to pass tear down & some people break & can't fix their cars
so Alternates or (people that qualified after 128) Will Get In.....
Pretty sure Nic from England got in. I got the inside scoop on him.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

I bet he is praying 1 out of 128 will not make 1st round

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

I think the winner’s going to be joining you.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

First year that FS DNQ's (FS/XX) not placed in Stock Eliminator

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Wong to the barn! Also Larry Gilley

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

So the unqualified FS/XX cars don't get put back in the 128 car field? Interesting. I was wondering about that.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Sorry I haven't been posting much but it has been a busy day!! Started out with a qualifying run early, then class. We were running in the largest class which was B/SA. There were 14 cars in B/SA. We qualified # 34 and we were the 5th fastest in the class!! We got beat in the second round by the eventual winner--Gary Richard!!

Lots of cars were going very fast today!! And everyone trying to make the show at The Big Go!! The weather was great today! It did get warm sitting in the sun in the stands but it was only about 80.

Many thanks to the Skillmans for the great dinner tonight!! Here are a few pictures :

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Larry, You did a great job today, with a combo that's not any gift, for sure.
Thanks for everything.
I don't mean to leave anyone out but I want to sneak in Jeff Jerome here too. You don't want to cross the Rockies, all the way to Indy unless you're going to be a player, and he was.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Thursday mid day stockers.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Thursday afternoon super stocks.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Great pics Mr.Walker

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Good morning all, Super Stock has been called to the lanes for class. Temps are in the mid 60's right now. Super Stock will have its quickest session of the week.

The photos are from the B/SA and C/SA, I wish I could have done more finals but had my hands full racing. First photo is Jason Line getting ready ready for the C/SA final. It was old versus new in both finals.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Is this "Jason Lines" Buick? I'd love to see those bores and rings

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Sitting in stands waiting for them to get Calvert off the track! Evidently the person playing the music does not know their demographic out here!!

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

What happened with John Calvert? Nothing bad I hope.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Patsy, what happened to Wayne Denklau on that run? Live timing shows he had an ET of .000!
Thanks for all your updates!

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Yeah, and John had an ET of 26.6 and no speed. ?????

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

They said on All Access yesterday that many fans have appreciated the modern tunes.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Watching NHRA all access and there is no announcer! What's up with that? There is sound but no announcing...

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Okay, Denklau broke and Calvert stopped half track. Hope it's nothing serious.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Anyone know what happened to Ernie this morning? I was looking forward to a killer pass out of that Cavalier!

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

It was all a dream, there was NO racing yesterday...

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Photos from the barn. Just an update on who and why some cars are being torn down. The Cobra Jets are Don Carson, Mike Fuller and Mike Pustelny. These three cars have been protested. Mike Fuller protested Don Carson, and Don Carson Protested, Fuller and Pustenly. All cars will have a rod and piston removed.

The other cars were pick by NHRA with a normal tear down, heads, intake, carb, bore stroke and cam. With Permission from the owners I was able to get some photos.

The other tear down contestants...

Steven Welker
Larry Gilley
Paul Wong
Mike Loge
Jim Hale
Luke Ubelhor

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Inside the barn....

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

All that drama. I need some pop corn.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

I like that Jim Hale's car comes with a built in workbench.

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Well so much for the "Blue Oval" Brotherhood!.Depending on the outcome it may affect more than those 3 Cobra Jets. gsa612

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

How so?

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Got any more pictures of that El Camino? :D

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

The SS/KA and SS/JA finals were 2 of the best drag races I’ve ever seen!

Re: “Live” from US Nationals 2018
 

Any one have video footage? Would love to have seen them in person...those are some bad a** camaros
