Live from the Fall Classic

Beth Denysenko · 10-14-2011, 03:37 PM

I guess I will be the reporter from Indy this weekend!

Just got here, trying to get up for a few hits in the T&T, will post more later.

Great Beth - Jump right in - put your reporters hat on and take some of the heat off me .....

Beth Denysenko · 10-14-2011, 05:08 PM

Thanks, Jack - I will do my best!

Ok, got here, rushed up to make a run with Alex's car. Ran the air, 28.73 barometer. Yuck. Car hooked pretty darn well, and we were very pleased with the run. Rushed up to make a second pass, it's now 1/2 hour until the end of tnt, two cars in front of us and the skies opened up. They announced that was the end of test and tune. So we only got the one run, but we learned what we wanted to know.

The sun is out now, but there are more rain clouds on the horizon, and it is still very windy. There must be a windchill to be measured here. Steady 15-20 mph and gusting up from there.

Pits are not very full, hoping more people will come tomorrow. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow as well. I am running stock so I don't know how many stockers I will get, but I will do my level best.

Best of luck Beth! I just couldn't pull the get off work @ midnight go home drive to Indy deal. Guess I'm getting old!

I think Polhill was a wash too...he was working on putting engine back together in comp car Wed...but was running out of time fast. I miss seeing everyone....ben a hell of a year! I may try to go to BG next weekend for combo race.(i could get vac then)

You will be missed, Greg!

Lots more rigs pulled in this morning. Yay! It's crisp, clear, and obviously from the flag in the picture, still windy. Going up to tech now.....

I can actually fill people in on the whole test session yesterday.....

Got started late the tracks Pig broke, backup put into place....

Track had lots of rubber on it coming off onto peoples slicks.(scraping would have helped)

Up to 15 MPH crosswind at top end(fun in a 4runner at 89MPH and less fun in a dakota @ 115)

It rained 3 times by my count, but not D-1 RAINGOD Matyas style end of days downpours that have the RV owners wishing they had opted for the pontoon option, and kids wishing they had brought their skimboards to the track.

At 10 pm they were still working on the track.

Air feels a bit better to my jogging self, cold enough for gloves with wind chill.

And there are MORE leaves down here than at home in Ma!

Off to the track I go.

Beth Denysenko · 10-15-2011, 09:59 AM

Thanks for the info on TnT, Eric. Appreciated!

640 feet, 28.91 barometer, 76% humidity, 48.7 F when we ran about 45 minutes ago. Still windy, very strong cross wind.

I was about the fifth car to go down, so I am not sure how many cars were there behind me. I am going to go up with Alex in a few minutes, will take the camera and pictures of the sheet if there is one.

Beth Denysenko · 10-15-2011, 11:24 AM

Sheets from round one stock. Sorry the wind blew the page as I was taking the bottom of the first sheet and I didn't notice it until just now when I went to upload it.

Looks like the dodges get power on monday Bales 1.23 under. Skillman also goes 1.21 under on his single to get power on his SS 12 mustang out west. Tom
