They didn't show the stick combo final. What did Prothero do?

Bob, the three G/S guys were hanging out together at Bowling Green last weekend. I wish we still had the little white 4 speed Camaro, G/S is a lot of fun around here. We're all good friends.

What is wrong with this picture?????? The Bug goes 3 rounds and wins class, and can't run in eliminations!!!!!!! I believe that some adjustments should be made to qualifying. Something like: If you win class with a minimum 4 cars, you get in. Everyone else qualifies for the rest of the spots. I doubt this would happen but once in "A Blue Moon" (which this month is and won't have another one or like 4 years), but this doesn't seem right.

First off, I'm with you.... class winners with multiple cars should make it.
Second...I surely hope Prothero didn't leave yet (heard he did), because he's probably going to make it in as an alternate... plenty of broken cars, and guys leaving (because of the weather predictions). That's a long way to come...

Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
 
Thanks, Wayne. Those boys have worked real hard on their new class. And that is a long way to go and not qualify. But, it's Indy and Indy is alway tuff. At least they are not completely enpty handed.

Well three rounds in stock are in the books, no rain, but not looking good. Here are some shots of round two in the lanes. I’m heading over to teardown, I will try to get some picks and info on who is there.

The rain has started as I'm typing.

Well we are home now after losing in round 1. We are in severe drought here at home and was hoping to get some of the rain from the hurricane here, but after just a little, it looks like it may have passed us by. I still have some pictures I took at the Mopar cookout and then later that evening at Jeff Teuton's for the awards celebration. So here they are. If I know the people, I will identify them.

Monster heads-up tomorrow morning - Mike Ficacci, youngest member of the Ficacci Family Racing of East Hanover, New Jersey in his 454 powered '72 Corvette C/SA will face off with former World Champion Jeff Taylor from nearby Sellersburg, IN in his big block '69 Camaro. Ficacci qualified # 73 @ -.907under with Taylor being right there at # 81 @ - .894 under. This race should be worth the price of admission alone ...............Ficacci also had a heads-up at last years Indy event if I remember correctly ------- anyone remember how that turned out ?

I think Taylor went a 4.02 in 330' at Z-Max last year against Bertozzi.

Re: "Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!
 
Mr. Larry,

He went 4.123 against Bertozzi last year in Charlotte. 4.02 at 330 would be 10.05ish
