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.

I spoke with Johnny Fisher (K/SA winner) and he said he was invited to the barn.....as usual.
