Re: Live from INDY 2016
Access is still off air, not sure what the issue is. Stock is done with Q1, Super Comp is running now, and Super Stock has been called to the lanes. I did not here who is number one. I do know Chris Holbrook went a 8.46 in Factory Showdown, followed by Anthony Bongiovanni with 8.53, Ryan Herem, 8.53 and David Barton, 8.56. Not sure about the other cars. Hopefully Q1 will be up soon.
Weather numbers as follow, it was very humid for stock this morning. Temp 77 Humid 73% Bar 29.08 DA 3250 slight head wind |

Re: Live from INDY 2016
Thanks for the pics Ken and Patsy, they are very much appreciated.
NHRA All Access is on, however, it sounds like somebody opened a Nitrous bottle and the announcers are taking a heavy breath of it before talking. But as Pat Comstock said, better than nothing..... Gary Merrick 3522 Stock |

Re: Live from INDY 2016
Paul Mercure #1 in regular stock. Holbrook # 1 in FS/shootout I believe.
173 cars attempted a run. Erica Enders did not get down track. Best wheelie--Ben Wenzel!! Lots of indexes wrong. May take a bit for DRC to get times up |

Re: Live from INDY 2016
Is anyone else getting this distorted sound from all access or is it just my computer?

Also as noted, the cleanup from Howes wheelstand was indeed a big one but we seem to be almost done now. Weather also appears to be breaking with partly sunny skies replacing this morning's low hanging haze and fog. If you believe your weather app, it's going to cool down and dry off later today and tonight so it will be game on during Class elims tomorrow and Friday. Some other random stuff. I like the looks of Chris Holbrook's new Cobra Jet and obviously its going to be a very quick car. Erica Enders had a bunch of trouble in her first run on Joe Welch's Drag Pak Challenger. Initially, I had thought that car was going to be naturally aspirated but now I see it's blown. Hopefully we can continue to get a bit more diversity in the FS/XX class. So far, 42 cars have run a second under or more. That number will certainly go up later. Best pairing so far, Tony Hernandez's '65 Corvette vs. John Cooper's '64 T-bolt. Two Colorado racers putting on a nice show for the die hards. As I post this, we're back underway now. |
