Indy First Experience!

[Larry Hill]

Indy will be the most fun you ever had with knots in your stomach, but when you see your name on the final sheet of 128 all is good. If you win class, that's why most of us enter the "Big Go", all is GREAT! At the scales is when the fun part begins, the invitation to the "Barn", if your lucky. Talk about big knots in your stomach, and maybe a little doubt about something on the car, you will have them. Remember without NHRA Tech. a class win would mean a whole lot less. Some of the best words you will hear in the barn,"We are done you can but it back together, enjoy your class win!"

There is nothing like pulling your stuff apart in front of God and everybody, that's a memory that is taken to the grave with pride.

Hope you took notes because you have to put it back together and race
first round 8:00 AM the next day.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry,

One of my favorites was while talking to a friend racer who was helping another racer I'll not name in teardown by removing the carb and intake from his stocker. As he removed the intake while we were talking the owner walked over and said racers didn't like anyone looking at the ports. I laughed, and told my friend I'd see him later.
Now who would care if you saw a factory part that cannot legally be touched?

Seeing the smiling faces of all the class winners posing for their pictures is a treat too!
