Exactly, everyone knows that alternates get in at Indy, many of the AH cars are primarily there for the shootout and attrition and even DQ's open up spots. The hopeful alternates essentially just show up in the rear of the lanes and when the pairings can't be filled because of no-shows they simply bring in the alternates. Most of the time they are pulled in qualifying order but it can get pretty chaotic back there, especially as next classes are called up.

Erica Enders did a good job with the Stocker, losing a close one to Country Puppy in Rd 3 .

Paquet and DePillo need to start a two car match racing circuit, awesome performance from both.

Well we are back home, motorhome unloaded, trailer unloaded, and Larry has started working on Indy 2017!!

Indy was a great time as usual! Hot the first couple of days, then turned into gorgeous weather. Better than I can remember in a long time. Thanks to Jimmy Hidalgo and Cutting Head for all the great food they cooked while we were there.

Well I saw the Boss just briefly as we passed on golf carts, but never got to talk with him. Maybe next time!!

Arvid, your pictures are really great!! Thank you for posting them on here!

Hey Spyphish, your post has gotten a lot of views!!

Good luck to all who are still in! And if anybody knows how the alternate thing with Kyle Riley turned out, please post. From what I heard, he wasn't up there waiting initially whenever they started needing the alternates. Then after he went up, they had already bypassed him and were finished matching everyone up. If this story is incorrect, please post and let us know!

Until the next race!!

Patsy

I heard it was .003 on the stroke, to big.

Here are some shots from the showdown, it was a very hectic on the starting line and it was hard to get good photos. Chris Holbrook ran very impressive 8.234@165.17, no other cars came close to running with Chris. The starting line was torn up pretty good, they did drag the track, but as you can see from DRC, a few cars did have issues with traction. What struck me when I was up at the starting line, was how many of the pros were watching the Showdown. The were lots of people in the stands, and although they were a captured audience, they seem to like the new cars.

It should be very interesting to see what David Barton has for Chris Holbrook, there is no way to call this one, but it should be fun to watch. Anthony Bongiovanni will race Steven Bell, these cars are evenly match, so it should make for a good race.

The rulebook is what it is, but seeing how most traditional Super Stock combos are induction limited, any additional stroke would typically hurt performance IMO.

Next year (that's right, I am coming back until I win), I will email you the Saturday night update. That way you can start the thread LOL. BUT it will not be from a ditch south of the track. #34 was my IQ that day.
