"Live" from Indy US Nationals 2017

Final shots in the the staging lanes. I will have more photos when we do the recap on Class Racer Magazine later in the week.

I'd like to say thanks for all the pics and chat, great coverage from everyone. Just setting here thinking of how much money I'll have to spend in one year just to have a car at Indy. This would consist of the other races throughout the year just to accumulate "points", and not adding how much $$ in engine work to be competive. Has anyone ever added up what it takes just to get there? Sure would be interesting to know. What an experience to say "I raced at Indy"

I bleed Ford blue and love the FSS cars but without a doubt my favorite car of the 2017 Nats is Steve Wann's '62 Plymouth. That car is bad ***** in so many ways!!

Love that car too. Brings back memories of my first driver in 1967, a 62 white Fury, red interior, 318 poly. The things I did in that car! T-boned a 59 Chevy wagon that ran a stop sign, which led to my 64 Savoy Max-wedge.

I thought these was pretty cool photos. Bob Glidden sitting in Bill Hawk's Shelby, Bob and Bill go way back, I can only imagine the stories they talked about.

I, for one, would LOVE to see Bob Glidden driving that car!

" I raced @ Indy" 2000 with a 12 second fox mustang, taken off the street, had a 5.0 engine .030 over, Lunati stocker cam, $100 hypereutectic pistons, a Jerico and a 9' rear, with the 100% stock factory computer I could only get it to run .48 under, got into the 128 car field by winning class (I was the only car in O/S) beat the #2 qualifier in rd 1, and was rewarded with Kevin Helms in rd 2. I fouled against Kevin. I had a great time, my plan is to return to the 2018 US Nationals with a car I am building, the "eBay CJ" Mustang. I am keeping track of what my car will cost to build, with some of the divisional races being 2 for 1 , and national open races, it shouldn't be cost prohibitive to get enough grade points. I don't play golf,go fishing, or take big $$$ vacations.Indy is # 1 on my list

Being "new" to this type of racing, I really need all the input I can get. Thanks.
