Indy 2013 - Page 2

Nearing 60 in Stock, over 60 in SS, got Miss Any engaged, Got the Hills, who am I missing? I'm wondering who in BB,CC,AA, is going to be in the Shoot Out. Can't register in that class. Lots of possibilities. Stephen Hebert will be in SS/AH with that beautiful new car from the "new" camp. Saw him run 8.39 so I know he is a player. And we gonna see if RJ can run with Randy Eakins in D/SA. Several other match-ups out there. Shoots out all over the place A/S, A/SA, Factory Classes, should be interesting. And of course you got the midwest folks about 3 rows from the rear fence, always good for a good time. Officially in Panic mode as of today with 3 weeks till departure. I heard there was no tear down this year? Might just be a wish list.

Since this is my last year, I really wanted to go to Indy one last time. I see two Drag Paks entered in my class now, and maybe at least one more coming. Instead of beating my head against the wall racing something with 75 to 100 more hp, rated four less than mine, I think I will stay home and let the bogus cars have it. Be much easier on my blood pressure. You guys have fun.

Sure, I would have no problem qualifying for eliminations. But, I'm old so class, especially at Indy, means a lot to me. I'm not much of a bracket racer.

B Parker · 08-02-2013, 09:26 AM

Ed if you can qualify ( I can't believe I'm saying this) who cares about class there. It's not what it used to be. Eight to ten hours in the barn in 90 to 100 degree heat. All for 0 contingency money. It's too bad, Indy is the one race NHRA should get the sponcers to pony up class win money. And I did win class my last time there 2 years ago in my brother's car. Kick me in the butt if I do it again!! It wasn't bad when we were young but at almost 60 no thank you. My back is good for about 15 minutes leaning over a car. Just go and enjoy the moment. Indy has always been my favorte race. Barry

Barry, wait till your a couple months away from 70. LOL

I can win $1100 for class at Indy.
Indy and sportsnationals still pay for class.
Ed quit crying I think Jeff Dona and Decker have the same combo as you and they have plenty for the DP in H,I or J.

No offense Charlie, but you are mistaken. Might want to watch SS/IA class run offs at Indy if you really believe that.

I will put $200 on Dona's car vs any DP. Any takers ?
And the tin solider and Decker rides are the real deal to. A DP may win class but its not going to be a cake walk like you are trying to portray.

Ed I don't know how many times I have seen fast car loose class. You should come to Indy if its your last year. Dose your car still fit SS/KA?
