Live from Indy Fall Open!

Dick Butler · 10-12-2008, 10:21 AM

TOP/STK -9 cars qualified. Brett McFarland in his 68 Camaro Qualified #1 10.167, Paul Boster #2.and Fred Suiter #3. Fred Suiter got the Bye into the final and Brett beat Boster. For the final Brett got a single and again made a great run at 10.16. Fred Suiter had broken his wheelie bars on the Bye giving a great full out pass with what became trade mark Wheel stand from the line. Fred finished this year as runner up at ALL the TOP/STK meets. Great competitor.
JR/STK put on a great show with 8 Qualified at our first event.Chuck Beach Qualified #1 at 10.97 in his Barracuda and Jeff Stealy close at #2 with a 11.02 in his 86 Camaro. In eliminations these two worked their way to a Fantastic Final run. When the smoke cleared Stealy won with a 11.00.to Chucks great 10.98. A GREAT RACE enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to all the racers who participated. Everyone had a great time at our first race. Now everyone has another reason to touch up their combo for this class racing type event. I will be working hard to encourage NHRA to give us TOP/STK and JR/STK at least at the Open events for 09. With your help I would like to see this added to Sportsnationals or other races where regular class might not be run.
INDY race had over 650 entries and they were working hard to get it all in. Thanks to Jay Hullinger and Rich for having our races this year.

Sorry I didn't get around to posting yesterday. It was a busy day with staying in the lanes after they called us up forever. Then on the 2nd time trial they called Top Stock before we ran our regular run. So we missed the 2nd time trial. Larry ended up red-lighing to Tosto in the 1st round. Brett McFarland had the bye. Boster beat Thomas Arnett. Benett beat Dinkel. Fred Suiter won 1st round by Brad McFarland being a no-show. Brad was having problems with his car and did not run 1st round today either. We won 1st round today. Hopefully things will run along better today.
More later.

Does anyone know who won? I will post more later about the race. Got to fix breakfast now.

Sorry I didn't post more yesterday, but we had an equipment failure. The little antennae on the cell phone card for the computer got messed up and it wouldn't connect. I don't know if it had anything to do with having a 3 year old and a 16 month old in reach of it or not. LOL
Qualifying for Stock:
1. Jerry Stealy- H/SA--1.322
2. Sam Hamod-I/SA--1.289
3. Timothy Weinzapfel-1.286 R/S beat us 2nd round
4. Richard Zink-L/S--1.267
5. Bill Sempsrott-K/S-1.248 went for record, but missed by .01
6. Bruce Witherspoon- G/SA--1.244
7. Dave Walther-G/S-1.19
8. Bert Morgan-Q/SA-1.177
9. Bob Gere-L/SA -1.174
10. Donnie Beeler-G/S-1.156
11. Greg Hill- E/SA-1.156
then the rest:
Summers, Pierce, Brett McFarland, Winchester, Quinn, Leach, Lyn Smith, McGinley, Mike Morgan, Dyer, Sweasy, Owens, Hughes, Fenner, Thomas Arnett, Rambo, Gyorke, Lowe, Belanger, Conkey, Mike Fuller-B/SA--.98.1, Dunlap, Kaekel, Gillespie, Gipson, Keihn, Antrobius, Harrison, Clark, Schaechter, Long, Suiter, Larry Hill A/SA-.915, Steiger, Bibb, Ellis Buth, Michael, Livengood--blew his up, Shane Smith (in a Mopar), Mattingly, Simpson, Lovins, Downing, Denysenko, Gower, Judi Bureski, Wallace, Clay Arnett, Truman, Kastle, Howard, Holley, Hardy, McDonald, Tosto, Schmalz, Ed Bennett, Phillips, Rod Boertman, Gresens, Hall, Reese, Walcott, Daryl Bureski, Stamps, Whalen, Kinkel, Botten, Caleb McFarland (Brett's 16 year old son in the D/SA Corvette, now he was having fun!), Bishop, Lindley, Hanlon, Black, Bill rowe, Seibenick, Barkley, Turk, JB Stephenson, Larsen (Underdog is here!), Chris Stephenson, Dean, Bob Smith, Gil Brannon. Brannon was # 94 in a 92 Spirit--just getting a grade point?

On Saturday seems like we spent most of the day sitting in the stands waiting to run. There were lots of oil downs in other classes. They would call you up and then we would wait for an hour or more each time to run. So it was a day of hurry up and wait.

But it was Chamber of Commerce weather. Mid 80's and cool at night. Could not have asked for better weather. And the track hooked everytime for us.

We had a great time with all the family there. Sorry I didn't get any pictures this time, but I will at the next race.

So where should we go in 2 weeks? Kansas City is having a Nat'l Open where they are running Top Stock, too, but they run Stock/Superstock Combo. (420 miles)
Then Division 2 has a points meet at Reynolds, GA (492 miles)
Then there is the Dutch Classic--run Class or Top Stock, but it is 858 miles.

I guess the weather will probably be the deciding factor!!

More later.
