Live from Indy!!! - Page 10

Last year at the Sports in Columbus there was some discusion of who wanted to run who in F/SA and agreement was not possible. The Div.2 Director intervened and spoke very clearly "Low qualifer gets the bye and if you dont do it that way hit the highway".
The last few years in the class that I have been at Indy low qualifer gets the bye and the rest draw cards to finish the pairings. If a bye was necesary later the fastest car got it that had not had a previous single, and cards finished the pairings

Thanks Larry and Patsy for the great job!

Larry, I remember that little F/SA debate in the lanes at Columbus and you have it right on the money. I believe the Div. 2 Director called it a mandatory Sportsman courtesy. It sure brought a quick end to the debate.

Here's the report from the tent: You want to be in the tent because there you only have to pull a head. In the 1st session we have: Downing, Disinger, Goins, Freeman, Zink, Marshburn, Gere, Patrick and Hanlon.
And on the other side of the barn: You don't want to be here because that means you are pulling a piston: Buckner, Harrison, Byrd, Bennett, and deservingly so--Pendarvis. As Pouciau was loading up the golfcart to go to do the teardown, we were driving by in our golfcart and Larry said to him "Now see if you can get it back together so you can race in 4 hours." Well be driving by and seeing how long it takes!
Round 1 of class for superstock has started to be called up, so we are going up to watch.
Found out that 1 of the oildowns yesterday was Maxwell. He got his $250 fine worth--the entire length of the track.
More later.

Oh, Larry made me up a press pass for this morning. And Travis even gave us permission to go in the teardown area!

Larry just came back and said Mopar came thru and gave everybody in teardown a little package with Brake Clean, etc. Hey thanks, Mopar!!

Hey Larry! Can you transfer that pass to Paul booster? I'm sure he would be a very special guest in the barn. I'd like to set him up with a comfortable leather recliner and a case of his favorite beer. Make sure he is within spiting distance of his buddy too. Man I felt bad that you ripped of that incredible run 10.78 and still lost..very bummed.

Here are some pics from the barn at Indy. They were taken from a cell phone, and emailed to Class Racer.
