Well parking is still going on and I can see this is going to the late hours. I believe they are into the 240’s and have about 400 more cars to go.

The run schedule is also out and all racers will get 2 qualifiers tomorrow and 1 on Thursday with SC & SG having 1st round Thursday Night

Parking stopped for the night at dark at #350...we got lucky and were #349 and parked. They are supposed to park the rest at 7am the the morning and the start time will be adjusted...so we will see. I could complain but, it’s INDY and I’m just enjoying the time here!

Welcome to Day #1 of actual racing at the US nationals. Racing was kicked back to a 11am start time due to about 200+ rigs still needing to be parked. Looks like the stockers will lose a shot today. A lot of unhappy people about the parking situation and how it was organized, hard to park 700 rigs in one day after a 2 hour delay. My thoughts are that a small 4-9pm window should have been done Monday Night to get some people parked, even if it was about 150-200 would have eased some of the parking yesterday. The morning was delayed a lot due to the first field and lots of stuck racers. I think it took like 4 hours for 60 cars.

Any updates from the .90 gang ?

To say the least parking was a disaster this year. I spoke with a few people who’ve been coming for many years and said this is the worst they’ve seen. I would say the last trailer got parked around 2pm and some did a lap around the track and ended up going back to the original stacking spot. With the long time to park everyone got a time run cut from the schedule. What normally was 4 TT for the sportsman is now down to 2 this weekend as SC & SG get a shot in the morning and 1st round later in the afternoon in between stock class and TD & TS.
