Live from Indy!!! US Nationals

Jack McCarthy · 09-04-2009, 11:08 PM

the AHFS cannot and will not ever work because we can manipulate the numbers (like jimx2 did)... maybe nhra should toss them both of them under a "conduct not in the best interest of racing statute"... ???

anyway normal indy drama... maybe even better than usual !!!

jack...

gotta head back to indy now looks like roy dean is now in (#131) and running tommorow morning...
and congrats to roy on his U/SA class win, first since 1988 (in same ol wagon !)

Enjoy the video of Larry and Patsy's pink Cuda chasing down Buddy Hughes.

Thanks for posting. Congrats Larry and Patsy. Keep it up.

Do they normally do teardown at Indy the day after Class? Does that mean I have time to take out my 975hp 565 motor, that I just ran past Armstrong's Corvette (by 3 tenths and 10mph) and then pull my car into my trailer and switch back to my underpowered 427 and pass tech hopefully with flying colors

Hopefully I won't forget to uninstall my nitrous kit also

Larry and Patsy,

The announcer on the audiocast said it best, "I like seeing this car leave with the front wheels up not the rear". Sorry for the troubles, enjoy and have a safe trip home.

We have enjoyed your reporting and photo's.

Don't mind any of my comments on this site. It's pretty miserable for me having my car 800 miles away from me all of the time and having a busy work/life schedule. Brian, where do I sign up for the every other month work schedule and do you have any extra space for my car in your trailer

Maybe next time I'll buy a house with a garage. STUPID MOVE!!!

Anybody in Mass have a free/cheap garage to keep my SS'er in?

Well, we broke the transmission. It broke back in the pits as he was leaving to go up to run. He got up there in 2nd gear and got staged against the 2 step. He was hoping Les Norton would red-light and then he could change trans before the next round. Well Norton didn't red-light, so so much for that plan. Anyway he didn't want to risk tearing it up further. It wouldn't go in any gear, so he got pulled back to the trailer. We hope to be at Earlville next week, so he will get it changed this week.

I will post more later. I have some pics from teardown, but I will do all that as we start home.

This is truly a bummer Larry. Sorry to hear about your breakage. Thanks for all you and Patsy do posting for us. Jim
