whew !

Larry DRC shows Fletch won s/g

Well, I think this is a first for Indy!! Nobody was tossed out in teardown! So the only alternates that will get in are for the cars who are broken (like us). And the first alternate #129 has left the grounds. Fletcher got beat in super gas this morning and left. I have a few more pics from today.

Larry Hill · 09-03-2010, 06:31 PM

Paul and Debbie Boster and their new D/SA Corvette

Gary Richard and Skillman in teardown.

Do you recognize any of these guys watching Super Stock this morning?

Candies and Johns in the barn

Hi Gang. Yall miss me. Yall oughta be here. Need some controversy out here. New car, old car, some car. Barn was long and quiet. I passed.

This is me presenting John Calvert, the winner of the A/S Challenge, with a collector's bottle of Blanton's Reserve, single barrel Kentucky bourbon.

This is Brian Wolfe, all dirty, but smiling after passing teardown.

Floyd, this is what happened to Ryan's engine.

Winner and runner-up of SS/B (red car is Paul Adams, white car is Ray Pacqet)

Fletcher won in S/G and is shown on the ladder for rd 2. I was listening at work and we laughed at how far under he was dialed.....opponent fouled.
He is also shown as the first alternate in Stock.......

Sorry about the misinformation about Dan Fletcher. He did win in SG, but he did load up and leave this morning. I found out later that he went somewhere to test! So I am sure he will be back by round 1 of stock in the morning.

Pasty, you are correct, Dan went to a local track to iron out some bugs.

I thought the Hemi shoot out was pretty cool, tight racing with to class acts in the final.

I was in the barn for short time, and I have say I am very impressed with Brian Wofle. He is Ford Executive, but has a passion for drag racing and has no problem getting his hands dirty. It was nice to see everyone get through and I guess that explained all the happy faces.

Hats off to Gary Richards getting into two class finals and getting one win, talk about a busy weekend, Gary has plenty of energy, I know I couldn't do it. Gary also has a great crew, Paul is the best.

Paul Adams, that is one bad *** T-bolt, well done.

Contrats to Tom Sheehan our resident photographer. He is pitted right next to me and oh yeah, he has the invite to the barn.

Here are some more great shots from John DiBartolomeo DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine,
