    Bummer about Lutz being out, 6.05 @ 251 I don't care what kind of street driven car it is, that's impressive. Hope you can get some shut eye Jim, and good luck.

    Yes they did. Rules state that they have to drive cars from track to track.
    I heard 15 cars did not make it to Indy.

    Good deal Jim. Take care of you as well as the car. Heard Jeff Luts wore himself out and can not continue. It really is a test of man and machine. On to union grove, Yeaaaaaa!

    Glad you made it out there for the start without any real issues. Also good that you were able to get the blower fixed and on to the second stop. Very cool driving it all the way out there and then running a 9.92. That is quite impressive.
