Re: Live from Indy!!!
Witchy Woman, you will be glad to know that Stevie Wann bought another engine (that was originally Jerry Davis's, but was at Parson & Myers shop in OH). Went by there just before dark and he had the engine in and was out driving around. Davis's engines are fast, so it is probably a good one. Keith Lynch finally got Marshall's like he wanted it. Another E/SA has shown up. Danny Black driving Jamie Fenner's car. Dick Lux finally got his car out of his trailer. Rumors going around about another protest in A/FIA depending who is the fastest during qualifying tomorrow.
More about the long wait in the tech line. We were not the only ones in line for 3 3/4 hours. I think it was a new tech guy and he was being really thorough, but most of these cars had just been to either Bowling Green, Topeka, or Cecil Co. last weekend and passed there. Like Rick Winchester said out in line "My weight sticker is only 3 days old".
It was so hot some people were getting sick from the heat. Roz Gresens for one.
Then you had to get back in line in Registration to get your credentials. Judy McCormack got sick over there. One good thing tho. They had a separate line for Stock--since we run 1st in the morning. We just went by the NHRA trailer and they were still open just before 9:00.
Got some new t-shirts this afternoon from Art's Used Parts where "If we don't have it, you don't need it". (By the way, we are in the same business as Art.)
I want to thank our son Chris for staying home and running the business for us while we are gone. Sure makes being away a lot easier.
Well went driving thru the back 40 and it sure is filling up. Somebody already has the shade tree where Jerry Bennett usually parks. We were back there for the last 3 years and it is so far away that you can't even get the track radio station to come in.
Well more tomorrow. We run at 9:00, but with 165 cars it will take quite a while, so I will post after we get back.
