Ron - Yes, Larry & I built Jim's wagon as a roller. We didn't have anything to do with the power plant though. I wish I knew how to make power like that.

Doug,
Thanks for the great photos of the greatest car show on earth!

Hey guys, yeah... its raining. Not sure how many class cars are left. We had some rain that put racing on hold. It stopped and the track was almost dry, but the rains are back. The rain is supposed quit for good within the next hour or two.

I did get to run my class, and did come away with a win. It was a bitter sweet win as my good friend Tony Fagnilli in his COPO had the faster car, but because of the AFHS he did not want to get hit with HP. If he gets hit, he can no longer run AA. When looking at the time slip if he stayed into it, he would have ran between a 8.41 and 8.43. It would have been a great race and he probably would have got the win. Now he might not even qualify.

Not sure if other class cars are going through this issue, but its a dam shame when you can't let you car eat, especially at Indy.

I recorded my class experience... I start at my pit, go all the way through for the win and my time at the tear down barn and more.... yes they wanted to see a few things on my car. I hope to have it up tonight, so check back and see what class racers go through at Indy for the coveted Class trophy.

I few more shots from the pits...

DRC posted a revised Hemi Shootout Q1. Wonder what the story is on all the DQs?

Re: "Live From" 2025 US Nationals
 

There were at least 6 NHRA tech guys, including Wesley Roberson ALL OVER the HEMI cars next to the barn/fuel check after Q1. They were measuring wheelbase, checking for the inner fender 'hump modification', checking carb offset spacing, and likely many other items I wasn't able to see, nor would it have been appropriate for me to stand over them and watch. I took a bunch of pictures of the overall scene, and will post them when I get real internet.

They were definitely taking things seriously !

At only 117mph as well, with a broken car in the other lane. Sheesh.

Although, I don't believe that combination will be too hurt by the extra HP...;)
