More is coming - maybe not



Looks like it will sweep north - good for all of the racers and NHRA

Tough to scroll through that round on DRC without wincing.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Still raining, when and if they get the track dry they will be starting with the pros. No word on what will happen with what was left of the Super Stockers.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

The next batches of photos are a little different. I thought it would be cool to look at the names and graphics that we put on our race cars.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Next....

Caught a Facebook thread with a lot of talk about Tuesday.

Last few...

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Ken, thanks for the entertainment and the pictures while us keyboard racers sit at home and wait for you big guys to get back after it.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

If it keeps going like it is now that will probably become a reality.

The SNOPPY Nova paint job is still Cool today !

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Think Brian and Alan cursed this year’s Indy talking on Wednesday about how great the long range forecast was, silly boys. Weather forecasts past what’s on the current radar screen has seemed to become increasingly unreliable. In any case we appreciate your efforts Ken. Know it’s been a long week.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Scott Gove ?

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Stock done for the day, as are SC, SG, TD, and TS. SS supposed to finish round one still. No clue why they aren't trying to run as late as possible and get this thing in as quick as they can. Should have raced late last night too.

Gotta make sure the pros get their 5 qualifiers in!!!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

We are back to racing, Super Stock will finish with their first round after the pros 1st qualifier today.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Whoever wins in any of the sportsman categories will have really earned it this year !!

Sitting around for days on end waiting to run at who knows when.

A real mental challenge added to all the usual stuff......!!

The Pro show has to run no matter what....

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Scott was pitted next to us and he left friday. The superstocker broke a lifter and chewed the cam up. And he didnt qualify in his beautiful camaro.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Somebody waved a magic wand and got the rain stopped so they can make the TV schedule.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Thanks Jason , Scott is a real craftsman and a good competitor. Did any aa/s or aa/sa make the cut

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

There were three oildowns during Q4 of Funny Car. It took an hour to get through all 20 of them. There were multiple oildowns yesterday, including a Nitro Harley. There were multiple oildowns on Friday, including a huge Top Alcohol Dragster blowup and Warren Johnson crashing his street Camaro during the gimmicky "Back to School" nonsense.

The rain obviously hasn't helped, but these oildowns wasted several good hours of racing. At least Luigi Farndon wasn't responsible for any of them!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Lot's more red lights in the rest of SS E-1.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Hard to believe a racer failed to weigh after winning rd. 1....Wonder who is more upset ? Snoopy,Linus, Lucy. Peppermint Patti, Charlie Brown , or BOB ???

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

SUPER WOW........I can't believe nobody mentioned that there were 18 alternates (because of no-shows) got to run in SS today!..
Then they ran out of alternates and qualifiers #3, #4, and #5 got bye runs!
That's crazy!

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Did not see that. I saw the no shows on the results but didn't count them. Good for some folks being vigilant and patient. Hope it pays off for them.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I must say that this has been the most unusual Indy I have ever been a part of. I am entered in Norwalk. This will prove to be a very hectic week.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

What happened to Ron Seibenick?
He qualified #11 and the round 1 ladder showed him running Logan Galbraith.

Gary -
I do have copies of all the Tech Bulletins from 8/1/99 till now. The change was made in the 3/22/16 Bulletin when the intake manifolds were change from D7OE-AA to D7OE-AC and the heads were changed from D7OE-DC to D7OE-DA.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Stock followed by SS again first thing in the morning!
Please NHRA don’t yell at those who are still in in both!
Like you did this morning.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Hey Doug. Glad to see you get a nice short of Darcey Clarke in his SS/EA Plymouth. A three day drive to get here from Western Canada. A little trivia. Did you know that car raced at about Indy 34 years ago by some guy they call Frito?

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Thanks Brett. I'll be ready.

Indy is vacation pace compared to D1 Canadian opens, which I have run two cars in the same elimator for years with #'s as low as 42 cars total. 95 degree days can be rough. Will run a car and 25 minutes run the other....

Cars should be charged, filled with gas and tires aired up the night before.

Just do like I did this Am, you may have a crew and be closer than the cell phone tower I am pitted at. guessing 1.2 miles Or a golf cart.

Rise at 5, do the vacation level 90 push ups, 90 crunches, and 90 deep knee bends.(skip this if you don't work out of course) Pull ups later in the trailer, drink the coffee, read the sunday paper online, check the weather, walk the beagles half way round the circle track and back, feed them, hop in the superstocker @ 7 drive it up park it and jog back the mile or so to the pit, check every thing out and ride on up in the stocker,

After round 1 of stock, park the stocker in the rear of the lane, take your helmet, jacket and other assorted stuff and amble on over to the awaiting superstocker.

Yea I had to jog back in the rain later to grab the stocker, but its certainly doable, especially in 75 degree weather. No drama. Good luck in round dos.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I'm really glad the pros got their fifth qualifying session in this afternoon, and that time wasn't used to get 200 sportsmen run and on their way back home after being here a week already. Comp has been in the lanes for E1 twice now and sent back to their trailers.

Too much **** going on at this race now and it all takes so much damn time. Out of 6 racing days there's been maybe 6 hours of rain during the days, if that. NHRA needs to plan out a schedule that is realistic to get all 16 classes and 904 cars run if they're going to include that much stuff. That should mean 4 qualifying sessions for the pros, and be prepared to cut it down to 3 if needed. They do it to us, why not them? Oil downs happen, crashes happen, rain happens. With that many cars and days you're going to have some of it. Don't put the schedule together where it only works if everything goes 100% right.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I hate to say it but, I’m kinda glad us .90 guys and gals had 1st round Thursday. I mean it sucked big time losing a time shot because of the parking issues but, at least half of us could have got on the road home if we wanted. I also have to agree the pros should go down to 4 shots, especially since they are barely getting 16 cars at Indy...i know it won’t happen but, you now have the 10 pounds of s**t in a 5 pound bag analogy coming to light.

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Hope there able to get this all in

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I agree they don't have time for the gasser and street car side shows there are sportsman been there a week that took time off work and probably can't afford to take any more time off not to bash the fast bracket TS and TD but adding them this year made Indy this year more hectic

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I feel exhausted already reading what you do first thing in the morning

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

I did not realize the pros got 5 qualifying runs.

Still seems amazing that half the Stock and Super Stock field will be competing on Labor Day at the US Nationals.

A few days ago it was posted that only the final rounds of Stock and SS would be competing on Monday

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Ya didnt see how thought that was gonna happen

Re: "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2019
 

Hasn't happened yet, Al.
