Sorry everyone, I only got one more in car cam today. I broke a trans, don't have a spare, but I should have it fixed. Not sure if it will be done for class tomorrow, but I should make the eliminator.

Its been a rough day. Mike Iacono hurt the engine in the DP. You can't meet a nicer guy. He hurt the engine in the DP, but instead of working on his stuff first he lets me use his lift in is trailer, his tools and then helps me pull the trans. He does not stop there, he gets the parts I need and Darren Smith from Pro Trans to fix it. What can I say, he is the best.

I noticed lots of parts breakage, more so than last year.

This in car cam brought to by Mike Ficacci.

I will try to get some picture that people are asking for and I will try to shoot a video of Stock and Super stock coming to the lanes. There should be enough down time for me to get some more in car videos.

That's cool looking at Wenzel's car out the window.

Are there no T-Bolts there? I know Paul Adams did the Jack Roush thing and isn't running but i don't see Calvert in Stock and Ray Paquet in SS listed?

Jared Jordan · 08-31-2011, 10:23 PM

Which combo is Barton running in the DP? 6.1? 5.7?

Wish I was back there. Every year when Indy rolls around I wish I could've gone.

Ken Miele · 08-31-2011, 10:40 PM

Tom,

Did not see any T-Bolts here.

Jared,

David is running a 6.1. He is taking allot of heat for going fast, but that's what Barton does. They make hp and they go fast.

Its funny, no one gave a dam when Al Carp's Hemi Coronet could not come close to the DP's. Now that he builds a DP, they give him a hard time.

I was behind barton in the water when he made the 3rd TT. That thing actually left like a race car, wheels up and gettin' it. Being a lowly E/F car, I have absolutlely NO agenda, but I thought it was cool...

Good job Dave...

You are so RIGHT Dan!!

Larry Hill · 08-31-2011, 10:49 PM

By the reactions of everyone who runs the 6.1, I would say that was what Barton was running!
b
By the amount of clean-up time after Todd Hoven made his last pass, I would say he probably blew something up. Also there was clean-up after Bowling went down. I don't know of anybody else who tore up anything today. But there is always tomorrow! We get to run Atwill in class tomorrow the # 2 guy in B/SA. Fun, fun! (Not)

Well here are a couple more pics from yesterday.
