Well said Randy! Just ticks me off and I was not even involved. But feel bad for Jim who I don't know and I am glad several racers banded together to help Jim, his brother and son get the car back together in time to make the 8 am eliminations!

It doesn’t have the alternates listed but some guys like Robin Lawerence didn’t make
first rd. Not sure this helps ya though.

I see, but the DNQ's didn't change much, if at all.
The question is, were all the alternates there and ready? I know of at least two who weren't. So did anyone else get the big bone, besides Casey? Most likely. :-(

I was broke and didn't make first round.

I was number 131 (3rd alternate). They did line up the first 3 of us (at least) in the staging lanes after most of the stockers had ran. Prior to that it was very confusing.

I decided not to run Friday about midnight. At that point I still had another 2 to 3 hours to get the car ready. Jimmy Ronzello and Mark Kirkman were helping as well. With my setup I needed to remove the starter and motor mount to get the last 2 header bolts installed. It was dark we were tired. I was also committed to helping Chris Holbrook with his Holley EFI in Factory X.
Mark and I had swapped transmissions the previous evening and had not recovered from that. We pushed the car to my pit spot where it sat until I was able to finish it on Sunday morning.
We went fast, were legal and had a great time at Indy.
