Live from Indy!!! US Nationals

Patsy,
Is Al racing this year ?
Tell them Tom & Ruth said "HI"

[Larry Hill]

It is an absolutely gorgeous day here at Indy! We are in and parked and all set up and ready to go to tech. I think Larry is vacuuming out some of the Bowling Green grass out of the racecar that we brought with us.

We are parked down almost as far as we were last year. We are right beside the fence at the end of the track where we crossed over from parking last night. We are right across from the Full Throttle trailer if you want to find us in here. We could have gotten up further, but Larry thought this would be a good spot.

I am going to take the camera up to tech so maybe I can get some pics for you today.

Bob, I haven't seen the Emmons yet.
Tom, Al is not racing. He brought Charlie Downing's car in. Bev is not with him, but I will tell him Hi for you and Ruth.

7820, about dinner. We were only parked about a foot away from Dave Boertman's bedroom window last night. That's a little too close if you want to get loud!!

More later.

The weather is showing Humidity @ 41% and the barometer is at 30.32 with the dew point @ 44. Temp. is 69. Should be a great racing weather with a lot of fast times.

Just looked at the schedule. We start out at 9 in the morning with stock, then super gas, superstock, super comp. Everyone gets 2 time trials. Then on Thurs, Stock has 1 run, then super gas, then class begins. Super stock runs class on Friday, like usual. Didn't we use to get 3 runs on Wed? Oh well.

As people are coming in now they are getting parked right away. There is still lots of parking back here in the back 40.

I've got more pictures I will post a little later. Going to try to take some more, too.

Oh, I talked to Bill Hawk this morning and he told me he had planned to run A/SA here this weekend. But he does not have a roll cage in his car. More than likely the car who wins A/SA will run in the 9's. His car does not have a rollcage and they told him in tech that if he ran in the 9's, he would be dq at the scales without a rollcage. He said when he built the car it was a D/SA car so it did not need the cage. I know he is disappointed because he said he could win A/SA. So you guys in B/SA better watch out! He is ready for you!

More later.
