"Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011

Ken Miele · 09-01-2011, 06:59 PM

Ok folks, here is my first multimedia of the day. I tried to figure out a good camera placement in David Barton's car, but this was the best I could come up with.

This is the final in A/SA.

I think the view in Tom Sheehan's SS is pretty cool.

.....

The photos are Stock class eliminations in the staging lanes.

I have more pictures and videos of stock class in the staging lanes, along with the Super Stock video in the staging lanes, but I have to go to the Ford Town Hall at 7. I will be back later with more.... much more.

Thanks Ken and Patsy, well done, both of you.

That DP of Barton's sounds wicked on the in-car cam.

It's nice to see the DP's and CJ's leaving like real race cars now too. A lot of nice pictures with the wheels up amongst those cars.

Great in-car with Tommy Sheehan. Keep up the good work, Ken.

Cool videos. I'm having a really good time I'm in the show by the skin of my teeth 127 first time I've made it I'm pretty excited!

Jim Wahl · 09-01-2011, 09:58 PM

I didn't think you could cool the cars down in the staging lanes anymore? Am I wrong? Jim

Jim

What you CAN'T do is... dump your water in the lanes.
That is a NO-NO.

However, you can cool your car in the lanes by other means. (ex... ice on your intake, portable cooling machines with hoses attached to the radiator, etc.). There is nothing wrong with these methods.

Troy Pourciau · 09-01-2011, 10:06 PM

Yes, Jim you can cool the car down right up until they tell you to go and race. Its funny to watch, neither driver wants to unhook the water lines first. Its like a chess match..... But thats what class racing is all about.... LOL
