“Live from Indy Open”

Not much news coming from this race. But, Live Timing appears to be working. Don't know how accurate it is, for this race.

Anyhow, I have a question. According to Live Timing, Dave Batta survived 3 rounds of Stock.

He's listed as driving a J/SA car. As we know, Live Timing don't list the car brand or model. I'd like to know what car he is driving ?

I think he had the Mark Yacavone HPP mag Bird. I'd like to know if that car is what he's driving today. A quick DRC search for Dave's name shows his last race with the car was in 2006. Don't know how accurate that is. As a side note, a '77 Bird was #1 qualifier.

Would also like some good pics of the car, either at this race, or at least recent pics. Anybody who can supply this info or pics, please do.

Thanks !

I thought this was worth a post.

IF the Live Timing numbers are correct, Travis Morgan cut a .001 light & got beat on the tree ! That's right. His opponent cut a perfect .000 light, AND ran a 9.728, on his 9.72 dial-in. Hard to beat a package like that.

I'm sure this has probably happened before, maybe lots of times. But, this is the 1st time I've seen it happen to a Pontiac powered car I was keeping up with.
