INDY (still the best.... but....)

I observed Jerry Emmons preparing his car for a qualifying run in the staging lanes. All ice had been removed, he was using a towel to absorb the remaining water, then the remaining moisture was blown away using a blow nozzle that was hooked to an air tank. The result was a dry engine that was cool as a cucumber. Did I mention the car is a bullet?

It may have been difficult to pair up, but it is the only fair way to do it. No one can play games with who they feel they can race and beat. I think most spectators that care about class run-offs are smart enough to figure it out. Dyno

Bald spots were avoidable except #4 qualifying attempt. The whole starting line was a bald spot. We hit the rev limiter at 8k on that one.
