10 of the 12 remaining A/SA cars are on the left side of the ladder. Should be some serious heads up racing.

The part on Buckner's car is something to do with the crank trigger.

Just got back from the A/S and A/SA presentations of awards to the winners. Congrats to Caleb McFarland for winning A/S and David Barton for winning A/SA two years in a row! Be sure to check out all the sponsors and make sure you buy something from them when it comes time to replace something! I took lots of pictures that I will post tomorrow. It has been a long day!

We also went to a dinner sponsored by Mopar tonight. Thanks Mopar! Good burgers and dogs!

Well I think at least 2 alternates will get in tomorrow. Dave Edwards is broke and Al Corda broke a transmission. Boudreau lost an engine in the semis of B/SA and was not able to show for the finals, but he has already put another engine in, so he is ready for Round 1 in the morning. The early run schedule is round 2 of super gas, super stock class, round 2 of super comp and round 1 of stock. We begin at 8, so stock should be running around 10:30 or so.

Well more tomorrow!

X2 - My sentiments exactly! A whole lot of weight to move with 283 cubic inches. Great job, Tim!

A few more videos of mine. Sorry, mostly COPOs and friends. Missed first round due to work. Couldn't stay for final round of class due to work.

Well it is another beautiful day here at Indy. It is a little warmer and more humid today. Super stock class is already running and 2 of my favorites have already gotten beat. Jimmy Bridges had a problem on the starting line and Eric Bell red-lighted! Super gas has already run and super comp is after class, then round 1 for us. So more later.
