Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Hey Jim, 6 alternates got in in stock this morning. Shaul, Beriault, Herem, Smyth, Reiter, Stott. Smyth ended up with a heads up with Randy Eakins!

The schedule has been rearranged because of the rain. We now run after the Pros and Fireworks tonight! We run round 2, then sc and sg, and then round 3. I think I will need a nap this afternoon to make it thru the late evening!

Here are some pics from Super Stock teardown today:

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

In case 2.21 under wasn't enough already!

How about Hagberg, huge wheelie and right on the dial with an .012 light. Hope somebody has video of all this stuff.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Tom, you are right. Chris Mattingly did win A/SA last year and Steve Novosel ran it up!

Stock Stick Combo Champion and # 1 Qualifier 2014 US Nationals

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

What a great picture to cherish. Congrats on your accomplishments Larry and Patsy. Thanks so much for all the reports and pictures you guys always provide. Makes being stuck at home this year so much more tolerable.
This thread has a lot of views already ... just curious what thread on this site had the most views ever ??

thanks

Its called sandbagging, if you look at the sheets, you will see a lot of people picked up when they needed to.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Thanks Arvid for posting all the great pictures! If you are still here, come by to see us!

Congrats Larry and Patsy and thanks for all you do for the sport. Great people. Hey Larry what about painting that truck like the Indy Pace truck with the bird on it and coming back next year and turn it up a little ;)

Kevin

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Is it just me or does anyone else think that truck looks about 7/8 scale behind larry?
Great job and thanks as usual for the reporting from both of you. Good luck.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Very Nice Pics... Especially the Hemi cars. Thanks.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Good luck to the Hopkins boys...happy hour late tonite after going some rounds!

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Great pictures Arvid.
Whose is that trailer that says father and son alky dragster champions?

Larry's truck looks like an S10 and the Wally looks tiny. Kind of suspecting he must be a big dude. So maybe the Candies family aren't midgets in the earlier pictures.

Tom, I'm just shy of 6'-2" tall, and my friend Larry Hill is somewhere around a foot taller than I am.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

Naw Allan, he's not that tall==just 5' 20"!

Well the Cowboy Cadillac's weekend is over. Stumbled leaving and couldn't run the number. We are still going to be here for a while tho, so more tomorrow. It has been a long day!

So many great looking cars, but this paint job is fantastic.

Thanks to everyone for posting pics and updates.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

I had a great time taking the pics, thanks for the compliments.

Larry and Patsy, thanks for the invitation, had to head back home.

That trailer is recalling the careers of Jerry Gwynn and son Darrell Gwynn, very striking and nicely done.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

So then it's NHRA's trailer and not a racer? Pretty cool idea.

If SS/AH was a car show and not a race it'd still be worth going to see.
