Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Sorry that I have been MIA, its been a very long day and I guess most of you know I was bounced for head studs. I don't have any videos or photos, so sorry everyone. I just finished helping Mike put the engine back together with the correct heads bolts and hope to be racing next week at the e-town division 1 race.
I would like to say I have no regrets driving for Anthony Bongiovanni. He is a class act, and when I needed a ride he was there. The whole Bongiovanni race team is top notch and I'm proud to be a part of the team. I probably will be heading out tomorrow and I am not sure I will have anymore reports, but your in good hands with Patsy, Jack and our new reporter, Randi Lyn Shipp. Thanks so much Randi, the tear down video was the best! Well folks, its been great even though I'm not in the show. I can't wait for next year. Jim, I am sorry I did not get over to the A/STICK- A/SA Challenge, I hope all had a great time. The next live report will be at the e-town division 1 race. |

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Good morning - Yesterday had it all -- like the tv deal of yesteryear - "the thrill of winning and the agony of defeat" really fits here .Many spent the day in the barn and a few felt the pain of getting tossed .Having that Wally so close and then dissapear hurts believe me .
Seeing the Factory showdown in person was great - this program is growing and next year will be even better I'm sure as the manufactures all want in . SuperStockers had their class runoffs most the day and today will enter into the chamber of horrors they call 'the barn' to finish off the the final leg of earning their Wallys . The Hemi shootout was again showing Mopars best with many fresh faces and cars-- good stuff .

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Thanks to Jack, Ken and the Hills for all the pictures and LIVE reporting. Saw picture of Skillman bar-b-que was dedicated to Dan Dailey. Met him 3 years ago at Indy, took some pictures of him and emailed to him. He was a class act and enjoyed watching him make an all out run in the anglea. He gave me one of his car shirts.
Sorry for his passing. Keep up the good work. Following y'all at least a couple of times a day. |

Re: "Live" from Indy US Nationals 2013
Tough day for Ken (not racing) and Larry but glad Jack could win his round against Connolly (wonder if he did a WJ impression " teach the kid a lesson" LOL)...looks like Gary Russell (#132) was last alternate in....looking at some seriously fast cars and great drivers that didn't get in the show it's tough to see how the new cars have seemingly made it very tough for all the old combos. The times, they are a changing...
