Live from Indy (Not Patsy)

Larry Hill · 08-30-2021, 07:39 AM

We rolled in at around 9:30 pm and stacking went very smoothly. Had a little rain last night but should be ok to park.

Weather will be cooler and dryer than BG. A lower temperature will make the track crews job easier to keep the bald spots away. It’s Indy and everyone brought their best stuff to show and tell day, Class Day. For me and the rest of us crazy’s it’s the day we work all of the year for. Win, lose, or draw for me it’s the best day of racing!

I will see you bright and early on Wednesday; can hardly wait!

Well this IS Patsy! Figured we might as well just add to Stephen’s post!

And this is about parking!! All is going well! We are out in the back 40 in front of the old abandoned house! We were not given a choice to park up front! With JEGS All-Stars, Factory Showdown and all other special classes, there wasn’t room for regular people!! But we have a great level, mowed spot.

Lots of cones out saving places but that’s ok. Everyone wants to park with their buddies. We mostly wanted “evening shade”!

It hasn’t rained yet today but tomorrow looks pretty bad . At least when we begin racing on Wednesday, the weather looks great! Cooler and sunny!

Part of Indy is always the rumers heard in the pits. The best one is two parts: part one is Route 66 will have a national event. Part two the All Star race will be contested during that race at Route 66.

This begs the question will Indy return to the traditional schedule for S S/S with technical inspections of parts. If NHRA decides to go with a different schedule it will be the downfall of class racing.

In Brian Lohnes' podcast he said there were going to be some big announcements this week. Hopefully this is one of them.

Today has been a big parking day and getting everything ready for tomorrow! The weather has been wonderful! Such a change from Bowling Green! Only going to be about 60 in the morning for Q1 but no barometer. Probably won’t be super quick! Stock is first out at 7:45! We get 2 qualifying runs then run class!

More later!
