"Live" from the 2012 US Nationals in Indy!

[countrypuppy4865]

"Live" from Hurricane Issac
The electricity went out for good about an hour ago. The wind is howling a bit and it's raining, but the worst isn't quite here yet.

I counted 10 FS/S cars:
3 Skillman CJ's
2 Candies CJ's
Holbrook
Rodgers
Wright
Butner
Teuton V10 Challenger (Stewart?)

No Bo Kenney yet. Lots of guys in the wrong class.

My truck broke a fuel line and is at the Freightliner dealer in Troy IL being repaired . I'm still hopeful we can make it

163 stockers went down first run. Warm and sunny. DA 2060' by our guages. 18 B/SA cars. We are middle of the pack at 10.47 -.77 under. Wong, Marshall, and Downing's truck is #1 at 1.54 under at only 84 mph. Lots and lots of new cars! DRC should be posting as soon as they get all the indexes that were wrong sorted out.

[Larry Hill]

At .77 under we are #85 with 11 DQ's. Probably most for fuel or weight. Wong #1 -1.55 Mulenhart # 2 -1.11 same truck.

Is this a reasonably accurate site ? We are just getting ready to leave from Ontario, Canada and the forecast for Indy this weekend isn't great .

Tim,

I would say it is, as they forecasted bang on a few years back when Katrina came through. Might be a short trip because forecast changes dramatically come Saturday. But who knows with the weather!

All the good sportsman racing happens before Saturday. Class, teardowns, and the Hemi Challenge Shootout whatever they call it now. Then the Nitro gong show starts!

On the upside, there is lots to do in Indy if you have never been.

I am 3 hours due west and the models are saying we could start getting rain Friday after noon through Sunday. We are expecting 3 to 6 inches. The storm will not act as others usually do. We usuall get a west to east pattern but this will approach from our southwest and go more of a northeast track. Indy may only get a small amount or it may drizzle all day. Vey hard to say now.

We are on hold now in Super Stock. I wasn't watching, but I think Stacey McCarty wrecked. I will let you know more when I hear. I saw the ambulance pull off the track slowly, so hopefully he isn't hurt.
