Re: Has INDY lost its luster ???
I do not think our family will ever go there again to race.
It is not the same race and experience as it used to be for us. Times change = I Guess.

Re: Has INDY lost its luster ???
How about Chris Butcher beating Jim Marshall for the H/SA Wally! I didn't see that coming.
That's what Indy is all about. |

Re: Has INDY lost its luster ???
Sure Marshall has a very “colorful” take on that run, one which I’m interested in hearing when I see him next. I’m still curious just how fast Caleb really is…and who saw Hale losing class? Rink losing his class Wally streak; yep lots of oddities and disappointing in some regards but I have never been glued to my iPad like I was yesterday (and thanks to NHRATV for making that possible) so Indy is still Indy and hopefully they’ll make some announcements to help restore the luster for everyone.

Re: Has INDY lost its luster ???
I could of sworn I heard Marshall blipping the throttle right before the finish line. I think they both held a little back. Awesome race!!!

Re: Has INDY lost its luster ???
When was the last time it took .536 under to make the Stock Elim. Field ??
Usually it takes .85 under to get in, but I’m sure a lot of the guys didn’t go this year because of the AHFS in place. Just my opinion.

Probably why you might’ve heard him blip the throttle.

I agree Bret... I believe he gave it back to him (trying to avoid the dreaded -1.20 under run)... Just my opinion

Jim Marshall is racing with apiece of plywood for a front end The camaro on the other hand is cutting thru the headwind like an arrow Also Jim is carrying 150 lbs more than the camaro Looking at the time slip the camaro picks up like 4 hundred from the 660 to the 1000ft Great race but the 305 camaro is a little soft ...but fast
