Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
It is a beautiful morning here in Indy. Supposed to be HOT again today. In the 90's, maybe even breaking a record for this date. They have not started parking us yet. There is a line to get credentials. Here are some pics from this morning:
The rows of rigs from the front. The view from the top of a super gas racer's motorhome. I don't know his name. When you look at these, let us know your name that so bravely got on top of the motorhome to take pics. |

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
They started parking us about 10:30, but it is not going very quickly. I have only seen Redman and Wallace. Seems like NHRA could afford a couple of extra guys to help with parking for 1 day at least. Rumor was NHRA let all the local guys go and are using only their guys.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
What entrance would I use if I get there tomorrow afternoon?
about 3pm if all goes well. Do they park according to class? We are S/Comp this year and I would guess we are probably parking about 1/2 way to Brownsburg..;-) Any info will be helpful, first time to race at US Nationals but I have weatched a lot of them. Jok |

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
Well we are in and parked. We are along the fence over next to the track. There wasn't anybody here except Mike & Paula when we got in. We are on up from Gate 8. Come on by and see us.
Jok, I would think you would still come in the Main Gate off Crawfordsville Road if you get here on Tues. I will ask Redman after we get the golf cart unloaded and let you know. |

Larry and Patsy,
Thanks to both of you for your time in taking pictures and posting. It's great for the sport for ya'll to take your time to help us enjoy the show. Good luck and hopefully it'll be a class win and on to the eliminator crown. Look forward to the next week. Wish I was there for this week and taking pictures. Will see some in Darlington this week-end. Butch2246 |

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
Well, they are up to about #130 parking. Looks like a few improvements here this year. They have paved the intersection down by the teardown barn and repaved the corner by the bowl. The fence has come down by the first section where the pro-mods park.
Jok, people arriving on Tues. will still come in the Main Gate. After Wed, it would be Gate 8. |
