"Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011

That's cool looking at Wenzel's car out the window.

Are there no T-Bolts there? I know Paul Adams did the Jack Roush thing and isn't running but i don't see Calvert in Stock and Ray Paquet in SS listed?

Jared Jordan · 08-31-2011, 10:23 PM

Which combo is Barton running in the DP? 6.1? 5.7?

Wish I was back there. Every year when Indy rolls around I wish I could've gone.

Tom,

Did not see any T-Bolts here.

Jared,

David is running a 6.1. He is taking allot of heat for going fast, but that's what Barton does. They make hp and they go fast.

Its funny, no one gave a dam when Al Carp's Hemi Coronet could not come close to the DP's. Now that he builds a DP, they give him a hard time.

I was behind barton in the water when he made the 3rd TT. That thing actually left like a race car, wheels up and gettin' it. Being a lowly E/F car, I have absolutlely NO agenda, but I thought it was cool...

Good job Dave...

You are so RIGHT Dan!!

Just went up to watch Super Stock round 1 of class. Boy is it HOT! I took some pics at the teardown barn, but there was a problem with my camera, so I will go back and try again. Round 1 of the Hemi-Shootout we found out is after the 2nd round of class. We will be there for that, too.

More later.

Oh, there has been a little controversy in the pits concerning the Barton run on Wed. The rest of the DP cars are upset and there has been lots of raised voices. Well the Gestopole(sp?) police came over to the Texas trailer last night with the intention of throwing them out for threats, but when they found out it was about the AHFS, they (along with Gracia) left.

All this could be avoided if they put the new cars in their own class and factored them accordingly.

Larry Hill · 08-31-2011, 10:49 PM

By the reactions of everyone who runs the 6.1, I would say that was what Barton was running!
b
By the amount of clean-up time after Todd Hoven made his last pass, I would say he probably blew something up. Also there was clean-up after Bowling went down. I don't know of anybody else who tore up anything today. But there is always tomorrow! We get to run Atwill in class tomorrow the # 2 guy in B/SA. Fun, fun! (Not)

Well here are a couple more pics from yesterday.
