Does it say "FGT/L" on that red 64 Belvedere? What engine would that be?

That would be Carl Weisinger with a 5.9 drag pak engine. OOPS Carl is driving his drag pak Challenger. So it is someone else in Carls 64.

I have it on good authority a certain F/SA car could go into the 60's tomorrow.

Tom, my source of the 160 was nhraeventreg.com, and their list of those who entered the race in Stock. Moreover, I counted 42 FS/?(?) entries in the 160 I spoke of earlier, and there was no separate listing for the FS cars that I saw.

We got the Ford Racers together for a group photo last evening. They posed with Ray Paquets 64 Thunderbolt and Carl Tascas 2016 Cobra Jet. This is just a photo from my phone - Evan Smith took some great shots of Team Ford.

Some thrashing in the pits after Wednesday's Qualifying.

Good morning everyone, the sun is just starting to peak over the horizon. Cars are warming up and many are already at the entrance to the staging lanes. The weather is a little better this morning, and I'm sure many will pick up today.

Stock Eliminator to the staging lanes.

Does the first round of Class eliminations count as the 4th qualifying pass this year at Indy?

Thank you for your quick response.
