Just giving my opinion here.

I have never met either Bird or Gup and dont have a car fast enough to ever race either one of them, so I dont have a dog in the fight as they say.

BUT....Gup better be ready at Indy if they race again there.

Reason I say that is because Bird was late on the arm drop or Gup jumped (No tree for the start so who knows), he spun off the line and was only running on 7 cyl.

At Indy I hope the track lets them use the tree, and my money is on the Bird (for the reasons I stated).

If he only had a ring pinched he was only really down maybe 3-4 numbers in the 1/8 from my experience. Even though the bird spum initially if he was making more power he would have been closing the gap on the back half. All I saw were his headlights getting further back. If someone has the timeslip the truth is there as to who was making more power if they both made it down the track.


One day I will have something cool here.
