Default "Live From" US Nationals Indy 2023

Hey guys, I'm here early. I wanted to give a heads up to anyone getting here before 10am tomorrow. There is no stacking at the main entrance like last year. Rigs are stacking around the track along the fence like years past. There is about 20 plus rigs here. Some rigs are numbered, some are not. There are spots open between rigs, but they are narrow and the shoulder drops off pretty good and you may get stuck. I'm at gate 3 on county road east. The spots are better and wider, but its up to you if you want to stack along the fence. I attached map below to give you all an idea what parking is like.

I will have more enough tomorrow, its says parking starts tomorrow at 10am until 6pm.

Hey guys, were are at the Big Go ! 2023 US Nationals. I'm excited to be here, it is my favorite race of the year. There are about 50 plus rigs parked. They open the gates at 8am, and they started parking us at 9am. The parking crew are friendly and very accommodating, it always makes for a good start at the races.... Thanks Dan and crew!

I should have plenty time for photos and videos this week, big car counts always gives me time to get lots of media done. After the pits start to fill up tomorrow, I will do a drive through video to give you all look at racers getting ready for the race.

Below is my rolling into video, hope you enjoy.

We’re here, we’re here and Dumbo is still in one piece.

Another fine "roll-in", Ken. When you got to Indy and parked outside the track, I nearly spit out my ice cream when I saw who you ended up behind. No relation, unfortunately.

Hey everyone, its a beautiful Monday morning at the US Nationals. So happy to be here. Rigs have been pulling in at a steady stream all morning. Things look to be going smooth, no long wait when you get here, just pull in and get parked. Hats off to NHRA and the parking crew for starting early. It goes along way with the racer. Most racers can tell you that parking can ruin you race experience.

Not many cars out, but I did find some. Anything interesting that may happen today I will be sure to report back. Anyone with questions or need any info about the US Nationals, feel free to ask.

Ken,
Do you have any CR shirts available at the track?

Tom,

Yes I do, I'm parked close to the staging lanes, right across from the concession stand.
