"Live" from Indy US Nationals 2011

Ken Miele · 09-01-2011, 12:17 PM

As you can see I got my trans fixed. Darren Smith from Pro Trans got in at midnight and finished the trans by 4 am. Mike and Darren help me get the trans in this morning and I just made first rd class. I am lucky to still be in. Charlie Fitzsimmons blew the tires away, otherwise I had no chance of getting by him.

The weather is hot and slow. the numbers for second rd class
Temp 87
humd 46
Bar 29.11
DA 3437

I will try to get an in car cam today, but I have been so busy I have not had the time.

They just called third rd class, be back later....

Great photos and reporting Larry! I am glued to my laptop.

Good luck Kenny, I am pulling for you.

My man Evan is knocking them dead in AA/SA. Keep it up bro!

Thanks again,

Ken - Congratulations on your semifinal showing in A/SA. I was pulling for you and the only "real" car in the round. Tough to beat those under-rated factory racers..See you at E-town.

Well I guess Dad, Brett and Grandpa, Barry will have to drink this bottle of Kentucky Bourbon for Caleb. Great job and a nice kid! Kevin blew his up at about the 1000' and still has to tear down tomorrow, too. Those 2 are the only ones I have heard about so far. Keith Lynch spun a bearing this morning, but he has gone home to fix it.

In Super Stock, Emmons blew up the car that they bought from Jeff Dona in time trials.

More later.

They just finished the last class stock final and man is it hot. I have two in car cams, one is the A/SA final, the other is our very own Tom Sheehan. I also have some video of the B/SA final, but not sure how well it will turn out.

I shot some video of the staging lanes with the few rounds of stock class left and a drive around of the staging lanes for super stock.

I also have some photos, just give me some time to edit and upload everything, check back in a few hours.

Great Job Barry.........................Now get to work

Ken Miele · 09-01-2011, 06:59 PM

Ok folks, here is my first multimedia of the day. I tried to figure out a good camera placement in David Barton's car, but this was the best I could come up with.

This is the final in A/SA.

I think the view in Tom Sheehan's SS is pretty cool.

.....

The photos are Stock class eliminations in the staging lanes.

I have more pictures and videos of stock class in the staging lanes, along with the Super Stock video in the staging lanes, but I have to go to the Ford Town Hall at 7. I will be back later with more.... much more.
