Like you did this morning.
Thanks Brett. I'll be ready.

Indy is vacation pace compared to D1 Canadian opens, which I have run two cars in the same elimator for years with #'s as low as 42 cars total. 95 degree days can be rough. Will run a car and 25 minutes run the other....

Cars should be charged, filled with gas and tires aired up the night before.

Just do like I did this Am, you may have a crew and be closer than the cell phone tower I am pitted at. guessing 1.2 miles Or a golf cart.

Rise at 5, do the vacation level 90 push ups, 90 crunches, and 90 deep knee bends.(skip this if you don't work out of course) Pull ups later in the trailer, drink the coffee, read the sunday paper online, check the weather, walk the beagles half way round the circle track and back, feed them, hop in the superstocker @ 7 drive it up park it and jog back the mile or so to the pit, check every thing out and ride on up in the stocker,

After round 1 of stock, park the stocker in the rear of the lane, take your helmet, jacket and other assorted stuff and amble on over to the awaiting superstocker.

Yea I had to jog back in the rain later to grab the stocker, but its certainly doable, especially in 75 degree weather. No drama. Good luck in round dos.

Eric
