Yeah, and one an automatic, and the other a stick shift carrying a 100# weight penalty.

Roy Hill DQ what happened? Alot of stick cars not in the field right now. Hope they can step it up tommorow and get in.

Ken Miele 09-02-2010 05:16 PM

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
Back to live reporting, sorry Chuck.

DRC has the results for 4th round class, so you don't need the numbers.

C/SA was a big upset, Gary had the car to win but Edmond had the light.

In F/SA Findell was the car to beat, Iacono stumble off the line, I think it was iced to much. Not sure Iacono had anything for Findell.

The B/SA final should be fun. Hawk ran his car out when Randy red lighted. Not sure if that was all Hawk had, you know how the game is played at Indy. Jimmy Defrank had the by and shut it down before the 1000ft mark. Jimmy and Bill are definitely playing head games with each other. I don't know who has the faster car, but it will be a great final.

Greg Hill 09-02-2010 05:17 PM

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
It's Hawk and DeFrank in the final of B/SA. One of the best races I ever saw 2 years ago.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
Rumor has it for teardown tomorrow it is all the winners and runners-up from AA/SA thru G/SA. Also Brian Wolfe and someone protested Monohan and he has to tear down also.

I was talking with Mark Lelchook a while ago and the West Coast Rulebook came up. He said that if his engine had been built by the west coast rules, he could have outrun Irvin Johns. LOL

Well they are about to run the finals in A/SA and B/SA, then we are going to the Ford dinner tonight.

More later.

This should prove to be interesting at the very least !

Ken Miele 09-02-2010 07:50 PM

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
Well folks, the B/SA final was just as cool as the A/S final. Bill Hawk and Jimmy DeFrank put on a great show with Hawk getting the win. 10.24 for Hawk to a 10.28 for DeFrank. Both drivers had similar lights, but Hawk was able to out run DeFrank. Two years ago DeFrank took the win over Hawk. It looks as if we have an east coast west coast rivalry in the making.


Hawk has an invite to the barn in the morning.

I'm curious about Roy Hill as well.

Anyone know why McClanahan is dq in SS now?

thomas sheehan 09-02-2010 09:16 PM

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
McClanahan switched to SS/AS for this event. He made his first run with a weight sticker that said 348 cubes 2810 weight. Another competitor noticed his weight and pointed it out that there is a 3180 lb minimum for SS/AS.

This is the story I was told.

To me.....The most amazing thing about these new A/FX ~ G/FX CJ'S and Drag Packs are the launchs...has any of them made a real launch yet? Unbelievable! I wish I could drive one on the street...but, we all know this was never possible....UGHHHH!

PS...How did the AA/SA OF McCalhans pass tech with all the aftermaket steering components? Are they still on it?

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
It's only the second motor this year. I guess I'm trying to live to close to the edge. The engine had a valve train failure, so maybe we can salvage more than than the timing chain cover and head bolts.

They just called super gas to the lanes, super stock class is next.

Right now I am looking for a place to race. I can almost qualify at Indy, my car is to new to race NSS. IHRA is not close. And I have a good car.

Larry....Thats NO excuse.....The IHRA races are a lot closer than that western swing you went on ! Yes you have a GOOD car, A GREAT looking car, and you just MIGHT find that you would enjoy yourself at an IHRA race sometime. Crate motored cars are factored a LOT closer to thier true potential than these new DP's and CJ's are in NHRA. The new stuff has its OWN class in IHRA so again there is NO excuse other than you just dont want to think you might be "Lowering" yourself. There are a great bunch of good people over on the "Other side". Think about it. No PRE entry, either. Sorry I just HAD to jump in and say it.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
 
It rained overnight and they are still drying the track. Super gas is in the lanes and waiting for a couple of more spots to get dry. The sun is trying to come out a bit, so maybe it will help the drying.
