The other cars were pick by NHRA with a normal tear down, heads, intake, carb, bore stroke and cam. With Permission from the owners I was able to get some photos.

The other tear down contestants...

Steven Welker
Larry Gilley
Paul Wong
Mike Loge
Jim Hale
Luke Ubelhor

How long have them been using the onsite barn and tents for tear downs at Indy? I assume this started when they went to the reduced number of teardowns in recent (modern) times?

Last time we were in that barn/garage was in the 70's or 80's at a points meet.

Just curious. Ha ha.. most of those cobra jet guys are too old to be pulling rods and pistons.

Thanks for the great pictures, makes it almost like being there!

They will all come out legal. Nobody would take the chance to protest if they weren't.

I have some more of teardown, but I think Ken's are better. But here they are anyway!

This is Calvert this morning where he stopped right in front of where we were sitting just before the eighth mile. Haven't heard what happened, but he was not leaking any fluids!
