Ok, I'm back but I missed a bit of the latest round.
Did get here just in time to see Jim Boudreau defeat Francois Periard and Slate Cummings top Larry Hill in B/SA More in a bit.... |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
A few random notes"
Saw a guy carrying about a dozen ziplock bags of ice through the lanes. Surest sign that it's a class eliminations day. Yes, it is hot but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Kevin Helms with a nice holeshot win in the A/Stick final. Finally, no matter what you opinion of the new cars, it's cool to see the lanes filled with Cobra Jets, COPOs and Drag Paks. I can only imagine that its the same feeling as walking through the Indy lanes in 1968-70 and seeing the original Cobra Jets, Hemi Mopars and big block Camaros. |

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
You reporters are awesome! Thanks from the left coast.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
I don't suppose we're lucky enough to have someone filming class a la Mr. Schaechter? I've watched last year's on Youtube more times than I can count!

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Thank to all the reporters....Its like Im there.
Kevin I don't think so ..Ask anyone 129 or more on the qualifying sheet. All the new cars have ruined Indy..BOGUS Racing...At least let them get HP Let them get the horsepower the should be getting.. |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Factory Stock Showdown Round 2
Big upset!!! Barton cuts a .000 light but spins the tires and loses to Joe Teuton's 9.45 in FS/AC Semifinals Patterson vs. Harrison Connolly vs. Teuton Patterson and Connolly are solidly in the 9.2s. FS/DC Butner vs. B. Skillman Allegrucci vs. Holbrook Butner, 8.83 Holbrook 8.85. If I understand the schedule correctly, they will run one more round of the Factory Stock Showdown today and the four remaining racers will return tomorrow to finish the class in prime time. The FS/AC and FS/DC finalists will race with a handicap. |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
As soon as Teardown starts--lets have a reporter-reporting-:D

I understand your point but I'd also have to think that the No. 129 qualifier (actually 33rd guy) had the same gripe back in 1968. |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Well it has been another hot day and very busy one! We got beat in Round 2 of class by Slate Cummings. Very close til the end! 10.30-10.32.
Some interesting choices for the barn tomorrow! Scheitlin and Hagberg, who were both 1st round runner-ups! That is all that I have heard about so far. |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Great reporting Kevin! Thanks. You should do this stuff for a living.

I remember when Chrysler had the 'pre' Nationals at Milan back in the early 70's(might have been 1970), deciding who would be class winners in advance so no records would not be hit at Indy. This stuff has being going on for years, part of the game. At least there are some new cars available to race, and a few years from now the kids will inherit these cars. Now if they would just make a few more/other rear wheel drivers that us lower class racers could build. Thanks for the reporting Kevin (and all you others too), great job. |
Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Anybody know what happened to Rick Winchesters car ? Nice lite Rick.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
My heart is about to burst with pride for my son, Kevin Helms winning the A/S challenge that was held in memory of his brother, Scott Helms. Scott is surely smiling down on him right now. He would have been so proud. Thank you Jim Schaecter for giving Scott's memory a chance to shine!
Kevin Helms with a nice holeshot win in the A/Stick final. |

You're probably right, but were the new cars exempt from receiving HP based on their performance at Indy in 1968? I believe that's what James was referring to in the last part of his message. Quote:
I'm sure Mr. Summers wouldn't mind if he could run in a Factory Stock 2 Barrel Showdown this year and save some HP for next year. |
