Re: Bump Spot for Stock and Super Stock Without AHFS At Indy
Doing some homework it turns out that the number 136th qualified car got in the show.
He was .810 under. Barry Parker must’ve broke something cause he was number 132, and he’s not listed for first rd results. Tough break Barry.

I pretty sure all alternates got a chance. James Tolston # 146 got paired up.

Gresens, Nichols, Tool, Miles, Bierman, Anderson, Eastburn & Fuller were qualified before Tolston( no offense to him) unless these other cars didn’t show up in back of the lanes when they called Stock. Maybe someone has the answer ??

A valiant effort there brother! (pushing that extra 450 lbs, to just less than 17 hun. slower), and both qualifying in top 13 in that all out fast, fast company! I don't even know yet (I will in exactly 7 days-Next Friday afternoon in Vegas), but you give me hope, though I will need to carry 55 lbs. plus more than even you do. (I just knew there was a large differential between ours and Ron's Tempo). Kudo's to both of you for making slow 80's sleds fly!

Re: Bump Spot for Stock and Super Stock Without AHFS At Indy
James did nothging wrong, he did exactly what most racers would've done. He got pointed at and was told to load up. Now it was the mistake of the pairing personel not being prepared, they didn't have a qualifying sheet, just ladder sheets. I and a whole lot of other racers where standing next tp the nhra people. They didn't seem to have a clue without the proper tools in hand. In other words, it was a cluster f...!

You seem like you are taking it pretty well.I would really be upset if I was there and the very last car in the field got to race before me. And it seems to me that this scenario has happened at Indy in the past with no effort to correct the situation and make it right. |

Nothing could really upset me, my Camaro went it's best ET and mph ever and I won a $10k tool box at the racers appreciation dinner. It was a good Indy for me except for not getting into the field. Casey Miles |
