Default Re: Live from Indy!!! US Nationals

Larry and Patsy,

Great shots and reporting as always..

My wife and I are here for the first time since '91. Lots of changes! Will come over and say hello....

Show in Stock and Super Stock was awesome!

Couple of highlights I noticed from Top Eliminator stands;

New factory cars Dodges and Fords are in a class all of their own. Surprise, surprise!
Stancil's 8.23 run was an "out of the park homerun!"
Westcott Jr's 8.49 was equally impressive and have returned to a "stick" in the car!
283 SBC cars are turning some awesome rpms in burnout and starting line ie. Brown SS/K, Bichlemeir (sp) GT/I etc.
Boertman broke on second run.
Rashid turned off early just after starting line on SS second run in left lane.
Rink broke a differential jsut after he left the strating line and came to a stop just past the '60 ft. marker.
Jim Daniels SS/AH smoked the entire run in right lane in second session and everyone feared the worst. Apparently, that was not the case!

Biggest surprise; where is the Fletch?


More later...

Mike
