How about the bump spot (pending teardown) of 1.016 under the index. Since I have been going to Indy (1997-present) I have never seen anything like this! Dad ran 1.002 under and has to wait and see who shows up first round...133 cars 1 second or more under...UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Johns A/SA 10.14, 119, Duell A/SA 10.13, 117.

Don't run a lot of MPH for those ETs, do they?

The far end of the track is running a little slow, maybe with a little prep it will pick up....ha!

I have got some pictures, but first about teardown. All of Hajek's cars have to teardown. NHRA is allowing them to take all non-essential stuff off tonight. I have a picture I will post later.

Others in teardown: John Livingston, Phil Pierce, another Mustang. I will know more later.

We went by and took our bottle of Kentucky's finest to Jim Waldo, the winner of the A/S challenge. It is a bottle of Woodford Reserve in a 2009 Ky. Derby bottle. I have a pic I will post later.

A story about the big wheelstand Gary Emmons did this morning. His brother Terry was supposed to tighten down the shocks and he asked which way to turn them. Gary told him clockwise. Terry turned them and said I think that is wrong. Gary said No that's right, close the hood. But he in fact loosened them all the way up. It was the best wheelstand of the weekend! And Gary said it was his fault, he just told him wrong.

More later.

Thanks Larry and Patsy for the pics and updates !!

Well, it looks like Defrank is going to win B/SA after all and not even have to teardown. I heard that Boudreau was pitched for cam and they kept his carb. Also Phil Pierce was tossed for runners being too big. This is just a rumor, but Jim is not parked over here anymore.

How is it that they give a win to the runner up and not make them tear down? If the winner didn't pass, shouldn't they be checking the runner up in order to declare him the winner?

They use to do that. In today's world not anymore. The selections are made and there are no additions.
