Going To Indy To Watch

brian schuetta · 08-25-2021, 08:03 AM

Who is going to Indy to watch? Wednesday to Friday only, or whole race?

Tom Johnston · 08-25-2021, 08:09 AM

Ill be there from this Friday to the very end!

Unable to race for a myriad of reasons so may go watch Wednesday at least. NHRA.TV is showing their coverage not starting till Friday so silly to subscribe to their single race coverage offering. Wednesday and Thursday are the only days I’m interested in. Could care less about the others but would want to catch some of Comp. Hate to admit it but if forecast turns ugly I won’t waste my time and money to go since I know who will get dumped on.

I will be there bright and early Wednesday Sept.1 and I will be there until the event is over on Sunday Sept.5. This will by 16th Indy (15th straight) and I have always stayed for the entire event. On Wednesday and Thursday I will be wearing my Class Racer T-shirt and hat, and I will be taking pictures in the Sportsman pits and staging lanes. If you see me, stop and say hi.

I called NHRATV and spoke with a very nice gal named Sandy and I asked her about coverage on Weds & Thursday. She did not know but she checked and called me back and let me know that they WILL be covering the entire race starting Wednesday. Good news for STK & SS fans.

Great news! I've driven the 1800 miles round trip before just to watch but I've got a lot on my plate right now so will probably just do the single event subscription, thanks for inquiring!

Two years ago, I flew into Indy on Wednesday night, watched Stock Class on Thursday, watched S/S Class on Friday, flew out Saturday morning. My only regret: If the flight was one hour later, I could have watched first round of Stock.

So class on Wednesday, Hemi Challenge Friday, then 1st round on Thursday?

Jim,

NHRA.TV actually does have coverage starting on Wednesday. It is listed under "Live Events" but does not show up under "Upcoming National Events".

This is pure speculation on my part but perhaps Wednesday and Thursday will be free like the Divisional races.

Will they run just round 1 of the eliminator for stock & super stock on Thursday or multiple rounds?
