Going To Indy To Watch
 
Who is going to Indy to watch? Wednesday to Friday only, or whole race?

Ill be there from this Friday to the very end!

Unable to race for a myriad of reasons so may go watch Wednesday at least. NHRA.TV is showing their coverage not starting till Friday so silly to subscribe to their single race coverage offering. Wednesday and Thursday are the only days I’m interested in. Could care less about the others but would want to catch some of Comp. Hate to admit it but if forecast turns ugly I won’t waste my time and money to go since I know who will get dumped on.

I will be there bright and early Wednesday Sept.1 and I will be there until the event is over on Sunday Sept.5. This will by 16th Indy (15th straight) and I have always stayed for the entire event. On Wednesday and Thursday I will be wearing my Class Racer T-shirt and hat, and I will be taking pictures in the Sportsman pits and staging lanes. If you see me, stop and say hi.

I’ll be there bright and early Wednesday morning, camcorder in hand at the 330’ club. Staying until Saturday. Driving home Sunday…..maybe. Lol

Wanted to go this year and spectate, but can't for multiple reasons. If anyone comes across GM A-bodies with slick ways that they handled a removal front crossmember, bigger oil pan to the steering center link clearance and/or under hood cage bars, could you please take pics for me? DM or post on here. We are contemplating the jump to a SBC GT combo with our 69 Chevelle...Thanks!

Plan on going to Lebanon late Tuesday night, be at track Wednesday, and stay until Friday. Pinballer you going this year? Short 180 mile drive this year instead of coming from Texas.

On behalf of my fellow Canadian sportsman racers and fans thank you Rob for all your videos of grassroots racing.

I'll be there on Friday to watch the Hemi Challenge. I'm bummed that they moved class elims up to Wednesday, as I can't get it off work. There's no reason to go on Thursday for me this year, so I'll be helping a buddy pick up his '63 Chevy wagon project car home from nearby Avon.

Cool that they are running Super Street again, so I can watch my cousin race in his natural habitat. And I really enjoy watching the rest of the Jeg's All-Stars, too.

Good luck to ALL of the racers! Safe travels and safe racing!!

I called NHRATV and spoke with a very nice gal named Sandy and I asked her about coverage on Weds & Thursday. She did not know but she checked and called me back and let me know that they WILL be covering the entire race starting Wednesday. Good news for STK & SS fans.

Re: Going To Indy To Watch
 
Great news! I've driven the 1800 miles round trip before just to watch but I've got a lot on my plate right now so will probably just do the single event subscription, thanks for inquiring!

Two years ago, I flew into Indy on Wednesday night, watched Stock Class on Thursday, watched S/S Class on Friday, flew out Saturday morning. My only regret: If the flight was one hour later, I could have watched first round of Stock.

brian schuetta 08-26-2021 07:49 PM

Re: Going To Indy To Watch
 
So class on Wednesday, Hemi Challenge Friday, then 1st round on Thursday?

That is correct; the complete schedule is available at NHRAracer.com.

Jim,

NHRA.TV actually does have coverage starting on Wednesday. It is listed under "Live Events" but does not show up under "Upcoming National Events".

This is pure speculation on my part but perhaps Wednesday and Thursday will be free like the Divisional races.

Will they run just round 1 of the eliminator for stock & super stock on Thursday or multiple rounds?

After looking at this some more I am pretty sure Wednesday and Thursday will be free on NHRA.TV just like the Divisional races. The National events have a small lock on the corner of the promo screen, the free races do not.

As most of you know you do have to register and sign in to see the events but there is no charge.

Friday on will require an NHRA.TV subscription.

Friday looks real busy. That's a lot of racing in one day. Packed and ready to leave as soon as work is over.

Best to go Wednesday and Thursday this year before they clear most of us out of there and fire up the calliope music for the weekend.

Re: Going To Indy To Watch
 
If anybody could post some stuff about well anything that happens in class eliminations today. I’d appreciate it. Not going to make it. Had to let my dog go early this morning and just not up to the 4 hour ride by myself. . But still interested. Need to find out how far behind I am. And decide if I want to try again next year.
