And one of these times I just might win.....

I like to get together with everybody....from all over the country....the barbecues.....etc...and class is still fun to watch.....when Paul Adams beat Todd Patterson..last year....the crowd went nuts....

I don't care how many days long it is....lol

Love the S/G cars Rock.....Just not a fan of throttle stops. Thats just me. Not a negative...just my preference. I wish you luck with the S/S car. Your right....Class runs at Indy are the best show in town. Beats "Top Fool" hands down. I will be watching on DRC (in the A/C)....LOL. Guess Im just getting old. Everyones day is coming. Cant stop father time.

Yep....Everyone needs to go at least once. Its like no other race. Now its just harder to justify with fuel prices, etc. so do it before you cant.

I ran Indy at the 50th anniversary race in super gas. Had the time of my life, it was a blast!! You are there long enough to get 2 national dragsters. To all those who have never, ya gotta do it once!

Last time I was there was to run C/SM about 1978. Think I may try it one last time.
Of course, I'm an idiot.

Rock are you and Brian Oakes going to run the same class at Indy? That would be one hell of a race for sure. Ed

No your not Ed......Your just like everyone else on this forum. A real car guy who loves drag racing. Just do it before you cant.

I would love to run Brian Heads up......or Anthony B. for that matter....

looks like all 3 cars can go high 8.80's....Not sure is Brian entered?

Would be great racing.....but unlikely this year....We don't know which class we will be in...

Rock....

One more thing......

Terry is very negative on this forum......but that is only because of his passion for the sport...you can't blame the guy for being passionate.....He loves Drag Racing

Guys like him helped form the sport.....

Sometimes we have to say something back though....lol

Get the tread back on track....

127 Stockers entered as of this morning, going to come up short of the ~175 entered last year (I recall Kelly Thomas made the long tow only to fall sick when he arrived and didn't make a pass, ouch, that's gotta still hurt) but 173 made qualifying attempts last year and some VERY good cars didn't make the tough -.74 bump...I'll stick to my earlier prediction though, the DP and CJ cars are going to make for a tough bump again this year. Bowling Green is going to be very interesting this year as well but can't wait to see what people show at Indy. Going to be quite the show!
