So how does this work with the alternates? If you are on the outside looking in do you just pull up to the lanes for first round and you get to run if there is a no show? Is all this worked out in the lanes or what?

Exactly, everyone knows that alternates get in at Indy, many of the AH cars are primarily there for the shootout and attrition and even DQ's open up spots. The hopeful alternates essentially just show up in the rear of the lanes and when the pairings can't be filled because of no-shows they simply bring in the alternates. Most of the time they are pulled in qualifying order but it can get pretty chaotic back there, especially as next classes are called up.

Erica Enders did a good job with the Stocker, losing a close one to Country Puppy in Rd 3 .

Paquet and DePillo need to start a two car match racing circuit, awesome performance from both.

One Super Stock was bounced, Duttun's GT/MA car. WHAT WAS WRONG ?

Well we are back home, motorhome unloaded, trailer unloaded, and Larry has started working on Indy 2017!!

Indy was a great time as usual! Hot the first couple of days, then turned into gorgeous weather. Better than I can remember in a long time. Thanks to Jimmy Hidalgo and Cutting Head for all the great food they cooked while we were there.

Well I saw the Boss just briefly as we passed on golf carts, but never got to talk with him. Maybe next time!!

Arvid, your pictures are really great!! Thank you for posting them on here!

Hey Spyphish, your post has gotten a lot of views!!

Good luck to all who are still in! And if anybody knows how the alternate thing with Kyle Riley turned out, please post. From what I heard, he wasn't up there waiting initially whenever they started needing the alternates. Then after he went up, they had already bypassed him and were finished matching everyone up. If this story is incorrect, please post and let us know!

Until the next race!!

Next year (that's right, I am coming back until I win), I will email you the Saturday night update. That way you can start the thread LOL. BUT it will not be from a ditch south of the track. #34 was my IQ that day.
