"Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013

Jack Matyas · 08-31-2013, 07:13 AM

Good morning - Yesterday had it all -- like the tv deal of yesteryear - "the thrill of winning and the agony of defeat" really fits here .Many spent the day in the barn and a few felt the pain of getting tossed .Having that Wally so close and then dissapear hurts believe me .

Seeing the Factory showdown in person was great - this program is growing and next year will be even better I'm sure as the manufactures all want in .

SuperStockers had their class runoffs most the day and today will enter into the chamber of horrors they call 'the barn' to finish off the the final leg of earning their Wallys .

The Hemi shootout was again showing Mopars best with many fresh faces and cars-- good stuff .

Stock running ontime this morning. The announcer is about as vanilla as Ive ever heard. Reading the info verbatim from the computer. No RT numbers, just et and win/lose...zzzz

Thanks to Jack, Ken and the Hills for all the pictures and LIVE reporting. Saw picture of Skillman bar-b-que was dedicated to Dan Dailey. Met him 3 years ago at Indy, took some pictures of him and emailed to him. He was a class act and enjoyed watching him make an all out run in the anglea. He gave me one of his car shirts.
Sorry for his passing.
Keep up the good work. Following y'all at least a couple of times a day.

Tough day for Ken (not racing) and Larry but glad Jack could win his round against Connolly (wonder if he did a WJ impression " teach the kid a lesson" LOL)...looks like Gary Russell (#132) was last alternate in....looking at some seriously fast cars and great drivers that didn't get in the show it's tough to see how the new cars have seemingly made it very tough for all the old combos. The times, they are a changing...

Stock just finished rd1 and we'll be back out in about 45 or less .It was somewhere around .02 or .03 faster this morning .

Gotta run - much to do ! !

Travis Sturgell #133 made it in and won his race.

Head stud rule is ridiculous.

Jimmy Vasser's COPO is gorgeous.

You guys are having too much fun!
