"Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals

A little late in asking this question (sorta like my last reaction time) ... In post 262 video of Chris Holbrook's run, he does his burnout and then flips two switches/two lights go on and he makes his run. What is he doing?
Just curious...trying to learn something that in all likelihood will end up costing me more money.

Being supercharged it would have to be either the primary intercooler pump and a fan or a secondary pump and fan. Super Charged cars need Ice water since so much heat is made. Our Super Charged COPO leaves the line at 100 deg IAT and crosses stripe at 175....If I forgot to turn it on before the burnout or at all I would be in big trouble and if the computer did't compensate 20% of fuel it would probably burn a piston. But in my case it would just SLOW down a ton. There was also plenty of talk regarding tank sizes, what is legal, what is not and its pretty much a cluster f''k from the West to East coast of what is allowed and what is not.

Mr Gary Richard going some rounds! Great to see. He is not a customer and we don't talk much but I respect him for all the support he gives to Div 1, the great racecars he has, the excellent drivers he lets run them all the time, and his crews hard work at the track. Maybe we will see a full size wally at Englishtown in a few days! If Gary doesn't have it then Tom could be right there to collect.

Good Karma for a gentleman that goes out of his way to promote sportsman drag racing. Going to the final. Good luck !

Thank you for all the live reports and photos!

Coming from a long time spectator of Indy and lowly bracket racer all I can say is a huge kudos to all you class guys. Make a pass at 8am, rain, sit around all day, go back out at night then get hot lapped. You guys are great. Aside from the new/old car debates I think this was some of the best racing at Indy in recent history.

Thanks again, and the countdown starts til next year.

Likely one is to engage the 2 step.
