Live from Indy

Good Morning Class Racer .90 people,

Well, on the road to the BIG GO. Left NJ around 6am this morning. Going to stop In Ohio and visit a good friend Gary Brenner from Jegs tomorrow. I figured I’d do a live feed to drum some interest. I’m sure Johnny D will send pics and I will try to send stuff to Ken as I can’t post pics from my phone on here. A fun fact, the last time my dad went to Indy was 1981 and they did a qualified field in Super Gas. They had 252 cars for 32 spots and the bump was a 9.935. Needless to say my dad was first alternate.

Safe travels to all going, looks like about 130+ in each class.

Well we finally got to the track around 4:30pm. To say the roads in Indiana could use a pave job is an understatement. It did rain on and off throughout the afternoon and tonight was a steady mist. We are stacked on the sportsman staging lanes and they were still rolling in around 10:30 tonight. Looks like parking was pushed back to 10am due to prediction of rain in the AM and wet grounds. The rest of the week looks good! I’ll update tomorrow once the detail run order comes out!

Well parking is still going on and I can see this is going to the late hours. I believe they are into the 240’s and have about 400 more cars to go.

The run schedule is also out and all racers will get 2 qualifiers tomorrow and 1 on Thursday with SC & SG having 1st round Thursday Night

This is redculus biggest race of the year and can't even start on time !

BKSG1198 · 08-27-2019, 10:03 PM

Parking stopped for the night at dark at #350...we got lucky and were #349 and parked. They are supposed to park the rest at 7am the the morning and the start time will be adjusted...so we will see. I could complain but, it’s INDY and I’m just enjoying the time here!

Welcome to Day #1 of actual racing at the US nationals. Racing was kicked back to a 11am start time due to about 200+ rigs still needing to be parked. Looks like the stockers will lose a shot today. A lot of unhappy people about the parking situation and how it was organized, hard to park 700 rigs in one day after a 2 hour delay. My thoughts are that a small 4-9pm window should have been done Monday Night to get some people parked, even if it was about 150-200 would have eased some of the parking yesterday. The morning was delayed a lot due to the first field and lots of stuck racers. I think it took like 4 hours for 60 cars.
