"Live" from Norwalk 2017

[Larry Hill]

Still not a Q3 sheet up or ladder yet. DRAW said there is an issue with the scanner. I believe there were 2 more cars that made the final run, so there will be some changes. A few cars spun the last run.

Here are a few more pics from yesterday:

Did Dan fall or was he pushed?

Everyone knows how camera shy Dan is.

Don't think seeding the FS/XX cars at the top of the stock ladder is right. They need to be put at the bottom of the ladder. I was told NHRA is considering having 16 car fields for them and thier own championship points chase by someone who has good inside info. Indy will be a 16 car field. That has been decided already.

Agreed. Make it a 16 car field and drop those who do not make it to the bottom, not put them up top.

The first eight slots in Stock qualifying were taken up by the excess FS/XX cars running against an 9.90 index. I thought, what would happen if they took four-tenths off and used a 9.50 index?

They would have had 7 of the top 8 positions instead. Maybe a 9.40 or 9.30 index next time?

Sorry folks for the lack of updates and photos, but I have almost no internet access. I use Verizon, and I can not believe they did not put up an extra tower for this race. The fans today were light. I can not imagine what it will be like tomorrow and the rest of the weekend. It took me about an hour just to post this.


DRC has all the latest info up, so at least you can get your qualifying and ladder. I'm hoping the internet gets a little bit better later on tonight so I can upload photos. It was hot and sticky today, the morning shot was not bad, but as soon as the sun came out it was a typical summer day at Norwalk, and yes, the 1 pound 1 dollar ice cream was the order of the day.


I hope to be back later.... fingers crossed.
