Live from Indy!!!

[Larry Hill]

Well, we got here about 5:30 after taking 30 minutes to get thru Crawfordsville. After only 4 hours of sleep last night (and we didn't even buy anything at the auction), Larry said he wanted to go straight to bed. But you know how it is when you first get to the race: you have to see everyone that you haven't seen since last year. So I have bacon cooking and we are having bacon and eggs for supper, since we had to see everyone. Went down to see Marlene and Darwin Hardy and had one of Marlene's slushees. They are headed home in the morning. After testing today, they have metal in the oil, so home they go. Sam Hamod also said his engine did not sound right, so he is headed home. We didn't get teched tonight, but they start at 7 in the morning and we don't run til 9, so we have plenty of time in the morning.

This is the last race for the Jegs Allstars. Larry is # 7 and could still win, if he won the race and none of the 1st 6 showed up! But, oh well-- we are out of luck. Tommy Mattingly is winning and he is here as is Greg Hill and Ben Wenzel who are only 2 points behind Tommy. Also saw Keith Lynch, so better luck next year.

I don't know if they started test n tune on time, but they were still running after 8 tonight.

It's been a long day, so more tomorrow.
