"Live" from Indy! 2010

[Larry Hill]

The rumor is today that the 3.25% does not have to apply. Someone was saying that the committee has the option to give more HP. I don't know the rulebook that well, but I sure hope that is the case.

Frito gave me this poem he wrote about the hemi shoot-out based on the pre-entries:

With Bales in bling and Charlie in camo,
29 line up with their Hemis as ammo.

Super Cuda's still around and lookin dandy,
But mels in the lanes looking for Randy.

Spyfish is lurking, wants power in excess,
He just returned from a trip to Texas.

The blue car from Cali still is MEAN,
Raybourn's Dart will create a very big scene.

Dr. Dan & Wolkwitz, both in Darts,
Smoke and oil abound, look out for flyin parts.

Raines is coming, with help from Westcott,
Heli-Hemis new motor will mean a lot.

Cake has a choice of Cuda or Dart,
Holt says run the newest and play it smart.

Shine by Tookie, noise from Clark,
Kingfish runs fine with a holeshot start.

Campbell and DePillo working together just fine,
Mopar paint on the Mule makes it shine.

Wolkitz & Barton, coming to play,
Power put out by Big Daddy Ray.

Lil Joe running safe, wants no valves bent,
Uncle Jeff watching over and bringing Steve Kent.

Mark & Wendell coming from across the border, Want to put away the field in very short order.

Houser & Booker sliding in from the West,
Viera right behind, want to run with the Best.

With his motor zinging and tach in the red,
Jeffs motor is his, Modern Cylinder Head.

Two colors of paint change in the breeze,
Check out the hues of Lewis & Keyes.

Colors on this car are far from vanilla,
Island Hemi brought up by the Chuck Comelia.

The Cudas coming down from the Gold Coast,
This the the race Danny Zrust wants the most.

Perkins new car should stay off the bump,
After all his power is from the Grump.

The purple cars gone, shot like an arrow,
No entry for the MARVELous one, known as Darrell.

That rule only seems to apply to me. They might even give me .15 for not being there LOL

close run if john stayed in and not just fender drove him!!!

Terry, its John over Jason. That run had to be the best of the week. Even Bob Fry said, no one will top the A/S finals, not even the pro's.

Both cars stood up high taking the 60 foot clocks with the rear wheels. Jason was in third gear before the car started to come down. John went a 10.14 to Jason's 10.18 with Jason having the slightly better light. .048 to John's .055.

Wow, I hope someone got a picture of that run or better yet, on video.
We still can have fun with the old cars, it was by far the best show I have seen in a long time. Congrats to both !
