Yes had a DNQ at Indy in ‘08 for being light at the scales, not because of not running fast enough. To me there is a big difference. But ether way I was not fully prepared.
Now back to the race. For me the best race of the day, it took place after dark, it was the heads up SS/GA race between Jimmy jr and Wagnor. The race featured two great drivers with two closely matched cars. A fuel injection LS1 vs carburetor on a Gen 1 Camaro. The track ran until it was too cold to be safe. We changed to Super Stock so we would get at least two runs , a Q1 and a Rd. 1. I have to get the car to go A to B better. A view from the tower. Yesterday’s time in the tower filling out the Super Stock tech card was a real different experience. A computer illiterate old man was probably fun to watch trying to get everything in the correct place to get registered for race two, but that is for different post. What I observed was how many different sets of eyes are watching the track and the almost instant communication when something out of the ordinary happens. The whole crew is very focused on our safety. “STOP” was said loudly and the starter shut cars down. “We still have one on the track” and yes they did past the scoreboards. I would be slighting a true professional if I failed to to mention Allen the voice of NHRA. I don’t know how he has such a variety, volume, and enthusiasm for the long hours of entertainment and smiles he provides us with! Thanks from all of us. Weather at 6:35AM 43* 81% 30.52 -1488’ We still have four rounds of race one left before we start race two. Almost forgot “Redman is in the house” we spoke a few minutes and he is very much alive and well. Last edited by Larry Hill; 10-08-2022 at 12:25 PM. |
