For others (such as myself) its a day of reflection - of what could have been had things gone differently yesterday .Woulda - coulda - shoulda .Al I know for sure is that a wally didn't take up residence in my RV last night .But I gave it an honest effort ........

Factory Showdown - what a turn of events - its seemed for awhile that the Cobra Jets and Davids' mighty Mopar would run away from the field but its Indy where anything can happen and did -- spinning tires and breakage played a part as they always do ........would you expect anything less here ?

Back a little later ........

Saw your run yesterday Jack. Gave it a good go. I was glad I got to make it up there. Saw some good racing from all competitors. Got to return a couple books to Ron Seibenek, he got a couple round wins. BS with quite a few others. Even ran into a guy from my street racing days back in the mid 70's. He's running SC with the same car today, lol! Wish I had stumbled across you, liked to have met both you and Billy. Maybe another time.
