Nunzio, my dad ran a fairly successful A/A back in the sixties..................

I remember that car. Was a killer in it's day.

That's awesome! I remember reading that fuel tuner Todd Smith's dad ran A/A in that same era, dumb question, are you guys related?

I have a parking question. There was a spot off of East county rd 300 on the east side of the pro pits I used to park at. But now its a truck parking lot. Can you buy a red key pass ? Any suggestions would be great.

There are two places over by the entrance that is by the staging lanes. I park at the farm that is at the corner of County Roads 300N and 1000E. For GPS address is 2968N 1000E. Also across from that entrance they have had paid parking the last several years.

Todd was a crew member on the last top fuel car I drove. Todd is the salt of the earth guy. Please tell him hello for me.

Saying that the Plain Vanilla A/A was "FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL" is a understatement.

Gotcha! Enjoy Indy!

I've parked at the farm for 20 years. New people bought the place and keeping upping the price. I heard it's free to park in the normal Indy lot this year, since we stick around after the pros and still watch more racing I might try there this year

hi david gerard, patiently waiting to see Q1 on DRC for STK and SS, see how far under #1 in stock will be.
heard rumor of pickup possibly running waaaaaay under index? ......yikes it's gonna' be hot. no engine coolers in the lanes, but
i'm thinking the drivers are going to have their own coolers under their firesuits.
edit: live timing on nhra.com. jim marshall t/sa pickup -2.307 under for #1 Q1. i think this pickup has done this at indy before
with other driver/s? ...... pretty sure paul wong in #2 spot is also a pickup
