"Live" from our Southwestern Swing - Page 45

cicero819 · 11-04-2011, 01:24 PM

On my last trip to Indy, one thing that I notice that could help racer get more time trials, is that many racers take way too long to stage and race, even worse for the alcy cars.(cleaning of tires has to stop I won't even talk about the time that the pro's waste) I find that as soon as one pair leaves you should be starting your burnout and advancing to your staging for your pre-stage. Some of the racers take way too much time slowing down the race. Why is there so much down time between different classes? I'm not talking about preping the race track here, I'm talking just dead time between actually allowing the racer to start their burnout. If you come to race you should be prepare, same thing goes for the track officials in the tower!

Hey Toby, Teuton tried that before he left to go back to Louisiana (with Tom Compton standing there) and got nowhere! I'm sure he would say it's his division and he will run it like he wants!

Yo Ken, thanks for the pics!

This is what happens when you don't get to race til the evening:

"Mopars on the Strip"???

What can one say.....You guys keep going to those races. When will you learn?

Im sorry for the last part of my post....I was a little strong and may have offended some. I have deleted it. Besides.....Its your choice to race where you want. I still stand by the rest of the post.

Well, the way it is now the super classes get to go out on the town earlier rather than waiting around to make their second run. And they get the honor of being the the first out for eliminations tomorrow morning.

Sure thing Patsy, Here are a few more photos. Sal told me he will try to send more when he can.

Well they just announced that stock may run before Alcohol. So if you are racing, but aren't at the track, you might want to get here.

The 3rd schedule revision in half a day is a charm?

Ken Miele · 11-04-2011, 05:25 PM

Patsy hard at work.

Toby Lang · 11-04-2011, 06:44 PM

It's raining.

They got about 3/4 of Super Stock completed when it started to sprinkle. It's raining pretty hard right now. There is another front to the south of us heading heading north and it has a lot of yellow in it. It might miss us, but if it doesn't I would say we're done for the day. We might be done for the day anyway. I think it's probably too cold to get the track dried off.

They just pulled the plug on the day.
