Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
Alright folks I am done for the night. Check out the last photos of Kevin Helms. I kept my finger down on the shutter, and it came out like this, I hope everyone likes it. I finished off with the Lucas Oil Raceway sign as everyone headed out for the night.

Wow almost 40 pages of excellent coverage. The late Steve Evans would have been proud of all of you. Thanks again for all the great pics and coverage.

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
Well "da boss" Yo Ken got on me yesterday for not very much input this week. I told him that with himself, Mrs Patsy, Mike, amongst others there was no reason for me to muddle it up. With that being said, we had a great week here in Indy. Weather was great. Kudos to the NHRA folks for being such a pleasure to race with this week. I know it's something we have all voiced our opinions on, this week was very nice. Racing surface was awesome.
Now racing, We had our Super Cobra Jet go to the tear down barn, and it had 0 issues. PB & I won 3 out of 4 class trophies! I went to rd 4 in stock and rd 3 in ss. PB went to rd 5 in stock and rd 3 in ss. I did hurt the motor in ss which is why I pulled to the side in rd 3. All in all, a great week at Indy! Thanks to all. Yo Ken!

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
Thank you to those who provided excellence coverage of the "Big Go".
Congratulations to all of the competitors for their stellar performances, especially my favorites Steve Wann, Tony DePillo, Steve Ficacci, the Howes and others. How about that Steve Polhill! Also kudos to the NHRA team for a great job. |

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017
Good morning all. Well its day 5 at the 63rd US Nationals. Today's weather will be warmer, temps will be in the upper 80's. Stock has Steve Wann taking on Larry Gilley and Dan Fletcher taking on Darrell Steiger. There could be a possible heads in the finals as two E/SA cars are still left.
In Super Stock we could also see a heads up in the final with two GT/IA cars left. Brianna Kelly takes on Kevin Helms with David Rampy taking on Marion Stephenson. In the Factory Stock Showdown we have David Barton taking on Kevin Skinner and Scott Libersher taking on Steven Bell. Bell had the quickest et of the round with a 8.22, but the field is tight with rest ruining in the mid 8.20's. Hey Brett, you know I was just kidding you. You had a productive weekend, sorry to hear but your engine. Anything you can contribute to Class Racer is a big plus and always welcomed. Thanks Kevin and to everyone with the kind words. Its always my pleasure to cover the racers. I could not ask for a better job, being able to race and cover the races is a win win for me. You all know the saying, if you you love what you do for a living you will never work a day in your life. Tom, I'm still learning this camera, and I hope to gets some sharper images in the future, but thanks. I will be back later this afternoon with shots of the semis and winners. I have few shots of the Showdown cars from the quarters along with random shots of yesterday's action. |
