Racing at Indy?

[Chuck Beach]

Nobody raced, just qualifying, oh, except for Super stock ...

Hey guys.....the lite just went on...............IT HAS ALL TO DO WITH THE "12 O'CLOCK HOUR" Tech Closed........ Thats the goal, just force the rain issue, get passed the closing time and bingo! fields closed...

I now know this...............

I have asked Jay to request a rule change for this situation...or even this one time.....

I will post the answer when I get it.....I'm sure Jay would like the fields open....I believe he just followed the written rules for a rainout situation....

I talked to him this AM and we are able to race at the makeup, even the DQ, because of the rain situation just thought I would pass that along to any of the other DP/Mustangs that were initially listed as DQ, If you were on the grounds Sat and had teched you can run at the makeup event. I would of course verify that as we did, but thats what I was told.

So Norwalk then Indy.....cool....

Hard to believe that with "schedule subject to change" being instituted at every turn the "tech closes" time is absolutely written in stone!
As I posted elsewhere if Sunday had been sunny and a superstocker showed up I'd wager he would have miraculously been teched and made his qualifying pass!

The rule with rain outs wasn't always this way. In 1990, I missed the divisional race in Union Grove because of work. They scheduled a Saturday (1 day) for the race to be completed later that summer. Luckily for me I was able to attend & also win the race at 1:30 in the morning.
As far as not attending the first attempt at Indy, I like many here chose not to chance it with the weather. I do not have an issue with not being able to attend the make-up either. Looking forward to Norwalk.....1 1/2 hrs away.
