Unfortunately he went red.

The rest of the shots are from on top of the tower.

I want to thank the Emmons Boys and everyone else that helped get the car going at the last minute. I was .007 red BP

Hey guys, well that's it for me. I will heading out tomorrow morning. I will have more photos in the next few days so check back. It will be a 12 hour drive, so most likely I wont post until Monday. Its been a blast, I missed Indy the last 2 years, its good to be back.

Great coverage Ken. Looks like that revised schedule didn't happen, no Rd3 of the Pros but I see the local-ish guy with the Pinto got to the Allstars final in Stock. 6 1/2 second handicap!

The Pros definitely had Q2 and Q3 yesterday.

Looking at the radar all day, I can’t believe there wasn’t a 2nd rain delay but it started sprinkling pretty good just after the All Stars were completed.

This is what Sportsman racing is all about to me. Most everyone will help out a competitor if they need it. Kudos to those all helping BP out.

If the info is correct on NHRA in detailed results, 6 different SS cars didn't make the call for Rd1. Am I wrong in thinking that drivers qualified 129-135 could have taken their spots if they were still present on site and their cars were good to go?

There were 4-5 unqualified cars in Stock that got to race R1 as alternates because of no-shows.
