We are finally back on the road racing again! We are not quite to Indy but we are in Indiana! We should be there in about 3 hours. It has been been an ordeal to get here. Had planned to go to Bowling Green but our stacker had been parked since St Louis last year and there was a problem with the winch for the back door. Anyway 2 days later we are on our way! I have been talking with people who are on site and they say pitting is happening now. More after we get there!

Nice to have you guys back, and thanks for starting the thread. its good to be back at Indy, although it looks a little different. This is the new tower, like they say a picture is worth a thousand words... Enjoy my rolling into video. I will have part 2 tomorrow, getting parked and rolling around the pits.

That seems....underwhelming, considering the 4 story tower and suites it replaced. Am I missing something? Last edited by CMcAllister; 08-25-2024 at 08:37 PM. |

That is a temporary tower until the new one is completed

I posted on the vid about my many experiences with I70. It got so bad at one time that to repave it, they took everything down to bare dirt and started over. Took years and there were numerous 20 mile stretches of single lane. Not sure what happened, but it looks like it's back to the old bumpy, deep groove tire tracks mess.

We arrived yesterday afternoon and have a great pit spot! Went with Mike and Barbara McMahan to supper at El Toro last night and then to Flapjacks for breakfast along with Jim and Pam Marshall this morning! You can see where my priorities lie!
Larry is getting Dumbo out to get him all shined up and then he gets new Goodyear shoes tomorrow. We haven?t driven around the pits yet. There seems to be a steady stream of rigs arriving. |

Larry and Patsy, when you see the daily schedule for stock and SS class elims, do post it.
I hope we go back to SS on Friday morning, first thing, and I sure wish stock was near first out Thursday for Class 1. |

https://www.nhra.com/news/2024/nhra-...s-raceway-park They said the new tower should be ready to go by next year's US Nationals, they are also flip flopping the pits. The Pros will be over where the sportsman park (FSS, Factory X, Pro Mod) and Sportsman will be in the old Pro Pits (Mostly Alky, Comp) in the near future. |
