well its a sunny thursday morning here at Lakes at the Indy. I've never seen anything like it, line started to move and people clear in back, moved over and made a second lane, and passed abot 30 rigs that already had been there already. We will see what they have available on other side when we get in.

ps alcohol car decided they was going to have their rig washed just back from gate getting into pits, blocked everything up, "Come On Man "!!!

[Larry Hill]

Sounds about like what we figured! Hope you have your rubber booties on!!

well parking is going on, we was lucky enough to be parked by the restaurant behind big bleachers with asphalt parking for us.
Rigs are finding spots on the road course, but make sure you walk your area before going into it. there is more then 125 rigs here already, more on the other side then this side.

rigs keep coming in as testing started about 1 today, couple of runs i seen 9.63 from Daddy Warbuck car, Greg Hill 10.88 and Rich has made 2 runs 9.75 then a 9.65 136 at GTFA weight but we will run GT/EA this weekend again with a few more pounds out of it.

Right now at 230 we are on hold for light showers and try again later on.

Good luck this weekend.

It took us about 5.5 hours to to make the trip from our place. The wind was pretty stiff from the SSW all the way down,with rain off and on the whole way. My dually got 6.5 MPG but that will improve when I get a cap and wing on it,and it gets fully broken in.

We are pitted next to Rock and Jenny Running on the west side next to the fence and the ground is squishy.

There was a L/SA Mutang in tech that I did not recoginize. I wonder how long it will take before these cars are moved up 4 or 5 classes.

There was a fair amount of cars waiting to make a pass in T & T when we left at 6:30. They must have had some pity on the people that paid for the session and decided to extend it.

More tomorrow.




More tomorrow.

Mike,

Don't want to burst your bubble but that mileage won't improve much better than 7.5 - 8. None of my gas trucks did even with the extras you are looking to add.

should be interesting in the morning as they tried their hardest to get the track hooking right, but I'm seeing "Groundhog Day" again, if you remember my post about cold weather vs the traction compound being used lately at events.

More news in the am, plus I'll let you know what ralph is wearing to the wedding at 4am, hope he shaves his legs if he wears that purple dress.
