It is a beautiful, sunny morning here at Indy, but COLD! We are supposed to go out at 9.

More later.

Hope you guys have a good one. Probably going to be fast. :-)

It's really, really fast. It was right at 0' when I got back from the first run. Barometer was 29.42, temp 48 degrees, humidity around 60%. Little but of a tailwind, too.

90 cars made the first run in Stock. It is pretty fast. We ran about the same as we did in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago.

Rolled out at 5am this morning and was able to get here in time to get through tech, swap in some fresh fuel, and get to the lanes just in time to make the first session. First quarter-mile pass on the fresh motor, and really haven't had a chance to do any tuning. Rollout's nice and tight -- guessing it's a fiber optic Compulink. Was very happy with a .002 off the trailer and a 10.477 @ 126 mph, a good three tenths quicker than Columbus last summer. Now to tinker!

There were lots of red-lights today, so I guess it is pretty tight!
We are done for the day except for clean-up runs. I guess they are doing clean-ups. We had a little problem 2nd run, so we didn't get a good run.

Don't you love Stockers going 150+ mph?? Drew Skillman went 155 on his first run and Chris Holbrook went 158 on his 2nd run!

It has gotten a little overcast this afternoon. They are calling for possible a little rain tomorrow and tomorrow night. Hopefully it won't amount to much.

Oh, Mr. Bunkster, I loved the "Possum" song! Out in the country where we live, we could probably have possum every night!

Is there any chance of getting the record et's that were set yesterday?
Thank You
Casey

Larry Hill · 04-26-2013, 04:35 PM

Record runs are today and I haven't heard anything about anyone setting any yet.

Michael Beard · 04-26-2013, 07:24 PM

Yup, definitely tight. Dropped 3 psi in the fronts, and was .001 second pass. Good excuse to put my tall front tires on again finally, should pull things back into a less risky high teen range. Big fronts have been in storage for almost a year, so I did a little cleaning and polishing of the wheels and the rest of the car (AFTER we were done for the day... makes all kinds of sense, huh?)

Tech, registration, and the event as a whole has been smooth. The day turned into gorgeous t-shirt weather this afternoon. Wind was a little up and down, but tail to crosstail pretty consistently when it was blowing.

Got to catch up with several friends that were just out speckletating today, some fellow racers that I hadn't seen in awhile, and meet some new friends. Went out to Cheddars this evening with the Hellenberg/Kyle group and had an excellent meal with super quick service. Time to clean up the driver and kick back to get rested up for the real work tomorrow.
