LIVE from Indy - D3 LODRS

NHRA owns the track. New Top Elim. Club under construction. Now you know where the higher entry fees this year went. Missing this less and less and less.

Indy 2016 :

On the left is Charlie Downing's 2010 Cobra Jet which I believe is the quickest 3 valve modular in Stock and on the right is the first S197 Mustang GT in NHRA Stock Eliminator, also with a 3 valve modular engine.

Since this 2009 Mustang GT runs in I/SA, I believe that also makes it the newest model Ford in NHRA Stock in the "traditional" classes. ( i.e. non-FS )

The weather does not look good for today. Lots of green headed towards Indy. Gonna be a long day.........

8:00 update - a fine drizzle has begun to fall. Never mind - it's now bigger drops that I classify as rain. No question now that the car will stay in the trailer.

All that stayed home - you got it right so far and stop smiling.

Looks like the D3 coverage is up and running with an accurate shot of the wet track. D3TV is a great thing and on days like this you can run back to the Hotel and monitor what's happening at the track. Last year at the Columbus LODRS it was hot - so instead of waiting at the track I went back to the Hotel, got a shower and rested in comfort till it was time for R1.

Here's the link for D3TV Saturday coverage.

9:00 am update from the tower - "We are on Hold and will be back around noon with a plan for the rest of Saturday and a look at Sunday".

I've left the track for the comfort of my Hotel room and some Netflix binge watching.

I've had a number of people ask how to post from the track. With a smart phone and a web connection it's easy. My Sprint phone service works well at just about any track except Norwalk. I upload the photos from my phone to a Photo Bucket App account ( also easy) and paste the link in with the text.

The biggest challenge is working in the small area of the phone display and the miniature size text.
