Indy First Experience!

[Mike Pearson]

I have made the trek to Indy on two different occasions. Indy is like any other national event just on Steroids. If you don't have a car that is capable of running .90 under in the heat then it may be an event that you might want to skip until you can be competitive there. Both times that I went I could not qualify. I did have a good time but not being able to actually race was a bummer. In my case the car and combo that I run is factored pretty heavy and I don't think there is a car in the country right now with the combo that I have that can qualify at Indy.

Unless they put some hp on the fi cars it won't be long and you won't see one carbed car make the show.

NHRA SHOULD go back to Class Winners automatically being in the field!

I can't see them (NHRA) having any interest having *odd ball combos* making the field over the first and last gen Camaros
(and second gen Nova's)

I have to agree with you on that. It just goes to show you that there are no "Car Guys" up in the Ivory Tower anymore.

Have spectated there since 1967 and hopefully the new car will sort out and qualify next year. It’s been on my bucket list longer than I can remember. Thursday and Friday are by far the best racing you’ll find anywhere.

That place chews me up and spits me out almost every year as a driver. Last year I was able to make it to the winner circle as a crew guy. I keep going and hopefully one year I can have a good weekend there as a driver. I love the amount of cars, running class, and qualifying. It’s a must go for a class racing enthusiast.

X3 , Billy
Never happen though. Not enough room for all the 150K F/X cars.
