"Live" from Indy! 2010

Larry Hill · 08-29-2010, 08:42 PM

Well there are now around 170 rigs in staging. Supposedly we are to begin parking at 8 in the morning. They are already parking in the other field to the back now. Here are a couple of pics from this afternoon.

Larry, Chuck Rayburn, a SS/AH guy, and Jerry Davis

Jim & Mary Hale. He says this is his last Indy. He is calling it quits at the end of the year.

Sorry Floyd, I haven't seen the McClanahans yet.

Mr. Larry and Mrs. Patsy,

Good Luck at Indy. I am looking forward to your posts as always, as are many others. Your posts are the next thing to being there. Thanks!

It is a beautiful morning here in Indy. Supposed to be HOT again today. In the 90's, maybe even breaking a record for this date. They have not started parking us yet. There is a line to get credentials. Here are some pics from this morning:

The rows of rigs from the front.

The view from the top of a super gas racer's motorhome. I don't know his name. When you look at these, let us know your name that so bravely got on top of the motorhome to take pics.

They started parking us about 10:30, but it is not going very quickly. I have only seen Redman and Wallace. Seems like NHRA could afford a couple of extra guys to help with parking for 1 day at least. Rumor was NHRA let all the local guys go and are using only their guys.

Larry and Patsy,

Thanks to both of you for your time in taking pictures and posting. It's great for the sport for ya'll to take your time to help us enjoy the show. Good luck and hopefully it'll be a class win and on to the eliminator crown. Look forward to the next week. Wish I was there for this week and taking pictures.
Will see some in Darlington this week-end.

Well, they are up to about #130 parking. Looks like a few improvements here this year. They have paved the intersection down by the teardown barn and repaved the corner by the bowl. The fence has come down by the first section where the pro-mods park.

Jok, people arriving on Tues. will still come in the Main Gate. After Wed, it would be Gate 8.
