Another race at Indy? What makes this one special compared to the last few?

the large sportsman fields, although i think class will not be contested, but trophies awarded for low e.t.'s in each class?

It's the U.S. Nationals which is the biggest, most prestigious race of the year.

They are running Class under "Match Race" Format. 2 Low E.T.'s from session one duke it out in session two for Class title.

Nope....I'm surprised no one guessed it yet.....

.......always looking for the straight man for your humor. Most are coming here to look for drag racing information.

Wow! Justin Ashley has turned out to be one of the best and consistent reaction time drivers I have seen in a long time. Mike has to be a very proud father.

You sure can tell how difficult it is for Steve Torrence and the whole team to be racing this weekend. Keep fighting Dom and your whole Torrence racing team.

It was a great weekend for Meyer family with Megan getting record and winning Indy. Joe and Dusty Meyer taking win in TS this is second time they doubled up at National event

 

[mick]

final run in TF by langdon was sick. front wheels hopped up twice as clutch was locking up. shawn drove it all sorts of ways to 3.70 for the win. unreal run.

This is the biggest, most historical race of the year, surprised you weren’t aware?

Random things I liked:
* Dale Creasy getting round win and .001 away from 3 second club in Rd 2. I always wondered why a racer from so close to Indy rarely ran at US Nats, but I hope he comes back next year.

* Really enjoyed getting to see TD and TS qualifing on Friday, including Cuadra making field literally running last pair in TS.

* 23 cars in TAFC vying for 16 spots.

* Making lemonade from lemons, seeing TAD, TAFC, and other classes on Fox brosdcast was a real treat.

Sad note - It looked like the horse farm caddy corner from the track is no longer there. I used to park there for several reasons, one of which was to support the owner.

They sold the horse farm right around the 2019 U.S. Nationals. I still was able to park there as at last year's event they gave us a phone number to contact the new owners. Apparently they tore down the main building recently as it was still there at Indy #3.

Stevie Fast!!! Congrats!

I went to the 3 previous Indy races this year, but the intensity this weekend was ramped up 10 fold. This weekend was my first US Nationals since 2010 and I honestly forgot about the intensity this race brings. Seeing all the teams celebrate yesterday after they won and a weekend of GREAT racing left me wanting more. I haven't been this excited about drag racing in years (I started getting more into baseball). I will be making the trip to Madison the first weekend of October and hope to see some more great racing.

Glad to see the extra car coverage Thanks FOX!
Glad to see the first time winners and those who went farther than they ever had before
Felt for JR Todd...that was a bum deal in the final and Beckman teaches so he should know
Sad to see Steve Johnson not get his 3rd US Nats but glad Jock has recovered from Covid and was there
Glad to see Langdon pull off the win for Kallitta after that DHL FC loss
Mad that I didn't do better in my PTW choices
Still praying for Dom

Just to throw out something. How much of a difference did it make that team Force wasn't there? I kinda felt that more independent teams were there cuz they knew they had a shot at making the field. On the other hand, did miss the Force cars. They would have all Q and probably made a difference in the outcome. What a crazy year this has been!
