Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

Congrats Marty on the Q/SA class win over Randall. Who knew?

Re: Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

We pretty much knew what outcome was going to be,Randall had planned on going 1.100 or so under, if that did the job OK if not then OK.
He was disappointed in his light,he said Marty passed him just after 1000' and MPH tells the rest.
Congratulations to Marty Buth

Re: Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

thanks Alex. Thats what I figured it was.

Re: Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

My brother is pitted next to Randall at Indy. The story I got was Randall had to rerun him after he beat him once. He said Marty's timer in his lane did not turn off at the end of the run so they had to rerun. The first run Randall had a light on him and beat him. The rerun was the other way around, Marty had the better light. Was a rerun necessary since he clearly was the winner???

Randall did think he was in front in first race,but after going back and looking at ticket and doing the math he changed his mind, he told me he was in front of Marty by .005 @ 1000' but did'nt see any way he could of kept that lead for the last 320'.
I would liked to see the truck win w/my engine in it,but we did'nt see any reason to get into peeing contest,when the mustang probaly has a little bit bigger bladder.LOL

Congradulations Marty !

That's 2 years in a row winning class at Indy for the Buth brothers in a Q/SA 2.3 Ford.

Mike, your reply speaks volumes for your credibility. I have known Randall for years and they don't come no better. It is refreshing to hear people explain the facts rather than make an excuse. Awesome effort for you guys! Don Jackson

Re: Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

Thanks,Don
(I remember back when your brother used to come to Clay City WCS races and remember his wagon(or was it another car of his?) being Super Stock (illustrated)? Never did get to meet you all maybe will one day.
Randall has been good friend for close to 30 years and is as good as guy as they come. He can give same story just be more entertaining from him.LOL

:):):) Hey Marty...you've certainly got a great "handle" on 4-banger Ford's...either normally aspirated...or turbo-ed up!...Congrats...yet another Indy race year...:):):) Drake

Re: Marty Buth Beats The Truck!!!!
 

First, let me agree with all the good comments about Randall! He is a great competitor and a first class gentleman. They, indeed, don't come any better than Randall. Second, in the first class run, my ET showed up almost instantly on the score board as a .775. The ET ticket showed me getting to the finish line first by .2 seconds, which Randall and I both knew was incorrect. In fact, when Randall and I spoke, we weren't sure which of us got to the finish line first, it was that close. I received no quarter mile ET or mile per hour. The electronic guru in the tower said he had no idea what happened. So, this was a bad deal for both Randall and me. NHRA decided on the rerun as part of the second round of class eliminations. Third, thanks to all who gave me congratulations, it means a lot and I really appreciate it. Thanks to Mike Taylor, for his previous explanation. Mike has done a nice job with Randall's truck. I hope to meet Mike someday to shake his hand and get to know him. Finally, thanks to Bob Michael for starting this thread. Congratulations to Bob on his N/SA class win. We all need to pray for Bob's wife to get well from medical issues she is facing.

Thank's for the compliment,Marty. I may make the doorslammers,I can make index in K/S w' my pure stocker,just cross my fingers to avoid heads up.
I'm going to do my very best to get my stocker engine done this winter,so hopefully I can get out to more races next year.
Congratulations again Marty
