Whom or who it is, will be a number One qualifier at Indy is for life. I know I will still have that smile on my face in my casket.

While there doesn’t seem to be as many tear downs as in the past some will happen. I think if you don’t go to Indy with the gaskets and tools you need to do a tear down you could be in for a surprise. I would suggest being prepared! Mike McMahan 2543 G/SA

Larry I totally agree, I'm still and will always proud of #1 Indy 2022 with my home built badass amazing Comet, it's not just a big deal, for me it was a huge accomplishment!!! Brian Seaberg 627

Hi Bob, I decided to do the bracket finals in woodburn this year but hoping to do Indy next year. Brian Seaberg

Sometimes a lot of the players know each other and communicate before the race to feel each other out. The last year we did it, the 60th, I got a call from another player. This is two weeks before Indy and they were wondering how fast the truck would go as an automatic. I kept it really close to the chest and revealed that I had a stick in the truck and all the stuff it took to make it work. He immediately knew that the Hp went from 189 Hp automatic to 155 factory Hp with a stick in the truck. We spoke just a little longer and we ended our conversation. Aww the beauty of a transmission change, a 34 Hp reduction in power. What’s not to like. Thirty minutes after we ended our conversation the phone rings, it’s my competition, he’s wanting to know what class I told him V/S his response was the index is .85 softer and I agreed. Let’s do the math 34 Hp reduction, .85 softer index = “ Hey y’all Watch This”.

After the first session in Stock, it looks like a three-way shootout between

Robin Lawrence, FS/G -1.504
Paul Wong, T/SA -1.486
Marty Buth, N/SA -1.480

Wong just went 1.87 under.

Session 1 he was just cruising, session 2 showing his stuff...Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door. Paul driving out of everyone's life and right into another zip code. And that is in fast company -1.875 thru Q2 under where I think I saw the top 50 or 51 were -.999 or better under.

He has to be in 7th heaven at the 2023 BIG GO, and sitting atop the Q list (and deciding to pick and build a little slower ride, to go really fast in!) Congrats to the man (and his team), seems that they have worked really hard, and it is paying off huge dividends!
