A few cool pics from Indy!

Just some random shots. Indy is the best worst time you can ever have! Difficult to get there even harder to get in! Impossible to win! There are so many stories to tell and to hear from all the racers that take a swing at the BIG Go! Some pics that I took in my spare moments.

The spirit of Indy lives in this picture. Getting in as an alternate and giving it all for a heads up run! Getting some help from friends here!

Car and driver coming together. Jack was making his presence known this year!

What would Indy be without a 283 stick Nova?

Former Comp racer Jeff Bryson ran well with his Olds Alero. Olds Power too.

Charlie Downing has been on fire this year as a driver.

Scott Burton piloted his Ram Air Poncho in B/SA!

If you do not recognize this car, you are on the wrong web site! LOL.

The cloud cover was welcome on Sunday.

Dave Walther F Stick runner up. Eric Wingo power!

Jimmy Defrank. Killer B/SA with Wikle Power

Six Pak anyone?

Jim,
That is the best part of racing that fans never see, (and the NHRA announcer never mentions) racers helping fellow racers. One example of many would be a while back at Joliet National Bob, Ed and I were changing the trans in Bob's Buick and as it got dark Jason McCormack just brought over portable lighting from his trailer.
And how many times has one racer waited for another or lent parts?

Next year a photo of you in the winners circle?
