We call them cowards where I come from. I guess it is just the way I am wired.

Well said Randy! Just ticks me off and I was not even involved. But feel bad for Jim who I don't know and I am glad several racers banded together to help Jim, his brother and son get the car back together in time to make the 8 am eliminations!

Scroll down to: Looking for Indy Stock first rd details post.
It doesn’t have the alternates listed but some guys like Robin Lawerence didn’t make
first rd. Not sure this helps ya though.

What caused Lawrence, Gaffney, Mattson, McCormick and Buth to all miss the first round?

I see, but the DNQ's didn't change much, if at all.
The question is, were all the alternates there and ready? I know of at least two who weren't. So did anyone else get the big bone, besides Casey? Most likely. :-(

I was broke and didn't make first round.

I was number 131 (3rd alternate). They did line up the first 3 of us (at least) in the staging lanes after most of the stockers had ran. Prior to that it was very confusing.

I decided not to run Friday about midnight. At that point I still had another 2 to 3 hours to get the car ready. Jimmy Ronzello and Mark Kirkman were helping as well. With my setup I needed to remove the starter and motor mount to get the last 2 header bolts installed. It was dark we were tired. I was also committed to helping Chris Holbrook with his Holley EFI in Factory X.
Mark and I had swapped transmissions the previous evening and had not recovered from that. We pushed the car to my pit spot where it sat until I was able to finish it on Sunday morning.
We went fast, were legal and had a great time at Indy.
