Live from Indy!!!

Hi Floyd

Your remember well it is hot as hell, lol I'am 1 1/2 hrs south of Khobar, down by the cement plant, i'am working for a drlg contractor here, back in the States in 3 weeks. Brian

It's currently raining at Indy. Not hard, but a good, steady mist. Dad has bye run 1st round of class. It's getting cooler all the time, so folks may have to run pretty hard relative to 1.15 under to win...

Hey Brian, be careful over there.
Well, it is misting still. They like about 20 or so super gas, then class. A/SA thru H/SA are in the lanes and singles. We have the bye, with Hill and Buckner matched, Wann and Black, and Simpson and Truman.
The wheelstand of the race goes to Brett McFarland from the run this morning. I thought he was going over, but he just rode it out. Really was nice. Lots of Superstock racers in the stands and they were even ooh-ing and aah-ing. Also nice wheelstands by Fred Suiter, Danny Black and Lambeck.
They are drying the track again, so I'm going back up.

You would think that NHRA could live the live audio broadcast going during Thursday of Indy also! Oh wait, no "Pros".. Nevermind......

Thanks Patsy for the updates!! The more the merrier! Gotta keep Larry in so the reports keep coming!

Lee likes that "FOUND" Nova. Kinda like an Apollo. Distributor on the wrong end of the engine though!
Is it true the Nova in Spanish means "No Go"? Or maybe Nova is just short for

N-- Nova
O-- Omega
V-- Ventura
A-- Apollo

All those X-body cars. Weird

Keep the updates coming!!

Thanks again all!

The heck with NHRA's none promoting of our class. I just put up $550 for it to be on You tube..one person says they will atleast do rounds in elimintions. Why can't we get class eliminatons be on live? Dam that makes me perturbed. Good luck Larry and the McFarland Crew!

Jared Jordan · 08-30-2007, 01:01 PM

Didn't NHRA have a program a few years ago for Pay-Per-View events? How sweet would that be for Indy? Say $100-150 for Thursday-Monday. They wouldn't even have to pay an announcer! Just pipe in the track announcer's voice!

I know I wouldn't be off the couch for 4 days.

I would be happy to follow the I-Card online. something to keep me busy at work.

Larry Hill · 08-30-2007, 02:03 PM

Final got thru the 1st round of class. Danny Black had a monster wheelstand after he red-lighted. Longest one I have ever seen. And in a borrowed car. I hope Jamie was here watching. Not a lot of surprises 1st round. DRC should be putting up round by round. something happened to Sturgell and he got beat. I will put up more after we run the next round. They just called us back.

Steve,

That I-card thing REALLY would be nice! Best idea yet!

Larry Hill · 08-30-2007, 03:23 PM

Well, we got beat by .005 on a hole shot. Larry had a .52 light and Buckner had a .24 light. We went 10.78 and David went a 10.80. So it will be Buckner and Wann in the finals. It is looking like the bump will be about .89 under, but the final (pending teardown) has not come out yet. Buckner already had a sticker on his windshield for teardown before that round. Looks like he had already been picked whether he won class or not.
Oh well, it is time for a wine slushee!
More later.
