Re: Live from Indy!!! US Nationals
In the barn for the first session this morning: Farrell, Boudreau, 3 Mustangs, Livingston, Pierce, Morgan, and Paula Cotten. On the other (bad) side of the barn were Bishop and Findell. Usually that side is reserved for pulling a piston. There is another session this afternoon, so I will let you know who goes for that one.
On the dry ice issue--It does not say dry ice specifically--but ARTIFICIAL coolants. Which is what dry ice is--it does not occur in nature, but is man-made. I just know if they were not doing anything wrong, they sure were trying not to have anybody see what they were doing. Hey, it was 80 degrees here yesterday and you have 2 men with gloves on by his car, and smoke coming up. With the official being told, they chose to turn the other way.
Maybe at least with all this conversation about this issue, they will come out and say the words specifically "dry ice" in next years rulebook. I just know that everyone east of the Mississippi are under the assumption that dry ice is illegal. (But we all know about that word ASSUME).
Mr. Defrank asked the official to not allow us to take pictures of his car, so we didn't. So I just assume he didn't want anybody to see what they were doing.
Anyway we are back to having fun!
A few pictures a little later.
