Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

We arrived about 12;30 this afternoon after a uneventful cruise from the Detroit area. I bought some Murphy's gas on the way down and MPG on my truck drop 12% from the Sunoco that I had bought at my local station. I will never buy that junk again.

I got into the test and tune and got to make two passes. Barometer was very low. The dry bulb for the first run was 68 degree's and the wind was mostly a cross tail at 8 to 18 MPH. The wind seemed to be always changing direction. There was a constant stream of cars going down the track with no down time that I noticed. It was quite tough to interpret the information because of conditions,but we will spend some time tonight studying the data to see if we made any progress.

Tomorrow promises to be cooler temps and better barometer. The local weather is calling for the area's first frost Sunday morning. Dialing Sunday morning will prove to be interesting.

I hoping to have some pic's to post tomorrow.

Let me know has fast Robin Brown goes please.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

What class and car number should I look for?

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Should be a blue chevy II in super stock, should be able to hear him lots of RPM. Tom

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Well congrats to Clay Arnett for (what I believe is) the fastest stock eliminator pass of all time! 8.46 @ 160

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

If the numbers are correct; that is the fastest Stock Eliminator run ever. When Don Fezell ran 8.50@158 last week at the Dutch Classic, he was the fastest Stocker ever and I thought that his numbers would last for a while. Guess I was wrong!
If I am not mistaken any car that runs faster than 8.50 needs a roll cage; does Clay have one in his car?

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

66 Chevy II car number 3010 blue and black paint job. Just listen for the car leaving at 9500 on the starting line.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Robin Brown chattered the tires really hard

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

WOW!

Good job Clay that is moving out!:eek:

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Is anyone else going for record?

M.Lind D/SA 801

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Holy cow,congrads to the Arnetts. Thats freakin fast.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Good things happen to good people !!!!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

All the COPO's were built with a cage, but cars that run 8.49 or quicker need a 25.5 SFI certified rollcage. WOW!!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

What class and engine combo is this?

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

The rains moved in and we are done for the day. Everyone got one run and I know for sure that a COPO Camaro went fast enough to set the A/S record. Ray Paquet was called to the tear down barn for certification.Did not know about Clay Arnett's situation. Gregg and Andrew Hill are staying at the track so maybe they can keep us up to date on the record status

The announced schedule for tomorrow is Stock first round at 9:00 AM followed by SS and one qualifier for the Super Quick cars. It looks to be a long day tomorrow because they had planned to run first round of the two bracket categories today so that has to be inserted the schedule.

I never got a chance to take any pictures today sorry. Maybe tomorrow will afford me some time for that.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

the rollcage is a minor part of the updates. all the things under bottom is the hard part, depending on which sfi spec they use. should be 25.5 but who knows what the tech people will do.there is more than one that they can fall into or will they just make another one to fit the cars. no matter if the runs were made in a test session instead of an event sfi update is pretty meaningless. proud for the arnetts, they are good people

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

We took off once it became apparent it was going to stay rainy all day. Made it home in time for the Notre Dame game, go Irish!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

It is a 2014 COPO, and the class is AAA/SA (9.70 index). According to the NHRA classification guide; the engine combo is a supercharged 350 which is factory rated at 530 HP, and NHRA rated at 548 HP which gives it a power/weight ratio of 5.93.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

I have it on good authority that the Arnett's car was at legal FS/A weight which is more than 100lbs. heavy for AAA. Great run. 1.20 60' time.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Jim Schaechter sent me the first qualifying. Jim said it has been cold and there was a good head wind when qualifying.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Your Superstock winner is Bob Lowry and runner up Ray Paquet. Congrats to the both of them. I was fortunate to make it to the semi's, where a large redlight got me. I think Dave Walther was in the stock final but not positive
Ernie Neal
SS 354

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

congrad's to Bob, he has been going a lot of rounds lately ran into .005 break out at Jeg's Sports that should been his, now to finally get a win, great job!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Congrats to Marty Buth on his # 1 Qualifying spot in Stock.

11.78 makes that the quickest qualifying run ever in Stock while only using 4 spark plugs. :)

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

That would be 2 sticks out of the three cars, KOOL! Good job Ernie, Ray and a big pat on the back to BOB LOWRY!
Congrats to all!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

What happened with Clay?

He is off the sheet...

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

The Sunday Q sheet on DRC is just the first round winners, he got beat first round.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

He ran 8.532 on an 8.70 dial, opponent (Rick Winchester) ran 11.003 on an 11.06 dial. Must have been some good air Sunday morning.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Did he set the record in AAA/SA?

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Thanks to everyone for the congrats messages! My Dad (Thomas) and I certainly appreciate them!!

Thanks to Mr Gary Jennings for chiming in on the cage that everyone was wondering about. He is dead on in stating a 25.5 cert will be in order. Currently the rules don't call for it in Stock. Sounds like the 15 rule book will have it in there.

We did not set the record in AAA. We didn't put an R on the window or get in the lane with the record attempts.

Also for who asked it is a 350 2.9L supercharged combination.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Congratulations! Awesome pass!

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Sunday 9:33 am 55 deg.,57.6 hum.,29.34 bar.,36.4 water grains.,799 da. This from my weather station. The wind was dead calm. About 400 ft. better than Saturday and we had a strong cross wind also. Clays car was flying period. Rick.

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
 

Here you go guys and gals - A few Stock pics from the Fall Classic. As time permits I'll get some of the Super Stock cars up as well. I took a few thousand pics of the whole event (all of the classes) and sorting through is time consuming not to mention resizing to upload here. Trying to scheme up a plan for next year to get to at least all of the division 3 events and a few national events. As coverage of these events is dismal at best, I would like to step up to somehow actually cover some events. Any ideas let me know. I know on average just for me to go just to spectate, fueling up the van, eat, take photos and sleep somewhere it's in the $200-$300 dollar range

Re: Live from Indy Fall Cassic
