I'm on the road headed home, I stopped about hour outside of Indy to get a better connection to do my final reports.

I have a couple of pages of photos from Evan Smith, Evan was kind enough to let me look through his many shots this weekend and these are just a small sample of some very cool photos... enjoy.

Some more cool shots.... James, please tell us how you turn your head like an owl.... wow, my neck would break.

The few photos are a thank you to the Cook Brother's. I don't usually post photos of me or my car, but the Cook's work so hard to get their Cobra Jet to Indy. They just finished it on last Saturday and we went to Numidia Raceway in Pennsylvania to test on Sunday and it was a disaster. They took the car home and fixed the issues and off we went to Indy, not knowing if we would even make it down the track. With only one run on the new combo it was a gamble.

Every run was a test run, and even though we did not do well in the Factory Showdown we learned allot and had a blast just being part of it. Thanks guys, you gave me a ride I will never forget.

On another note and some thoughts about Indy. I was feeling pretty low about us even qualifying, but after talking to so many racers telling the issues that they were having, it put things in perspective. Lots folks were in the same boat as us trying to qualify and win there class. A last minute thrash before Indy seemed like it was the norm, everyone had a story.

Getting to Indy is a big deal, weather you have a shot at qualifying seems not to matter, what matters is being here. The crowds were amazing with the stands full. Even before the pros ran, there must have been 10,000 fans in the stands to watch the Hemi Shootout and Factory Stock Showdown in the early rounds.

I had a great time and can't wait for next Indy.

If I get any more info or photos, I will be sure to post. Thanks everyone for supporting Class Racer, it means more than you all know.

That's a great looking car, Ken. The trials and tribulations racers face make the real champions work harder. Best of luck in the future.

I don't know if you guys caught it, but I turned on EPSN and they played the finals of the hemi shootout and the finals of factory stock. Nice to see that on national tv.

Is anybody else having trouble with Live Timing? It has been displaying John Force vs Robert Hight in the Traxxas shootout and I'm hearing the broadcast so that happened quite a while ago.
