I am taking my 11 year old son and it will be his first US Nationals. I know my son will love seeing the pros but for me the Hemi guys make the show. The smart money is on the Westcott's but I have to root for the fellow WV boy!

Can you get tickets in advance or no problem at gate?

Re: US NATIONALS at Indy - HEMI Shootout - Whos going? - 08/20/09 12:52 PM

Dad (MFR426) and I (MFR440) will be there Thursday afternoon through Friday night, groupies and pit crew for Darrell Marvel, SS/AH# 3426 if he needs us.

As always, if any of the Hemi guys or any other racers need a shop with a lift, welder, etc. we're only 15 minutes away!

Here we are working with Mr. Harry Holton on Darrell's car a couple of years ago. Stop by and say "Hi!"

Tickets are available in advance through NHRA.com and ticketmaster, also at the gate on Friday. Local McDonalds are offering a $7 discount on a commemorative cup for general admission ticket.

If you are just there to watch the Hemis I would buy gen admission, but if you want to stay for the Nitro cars reserved is better. I have never had a problem finding a seat for Friday night, but can't usually sit near the starting line with a gen admission ticket.

Re: US NATIONALS at Indy - HEMI Shootout - Whos going? - 08/20/09 05:29 PM

Just an FYI. The Hemi Challenge traditionally runs at the tail end of Super Stock class eliminations, which begin about 8 a.m. on Friday. The Hemi cars assemble for a photo in the staging lanes and then hit the track for the first round about 9:30. The rest of the rounds are run throughout the day with the final taking place just before the first pro qualifying session in the late afternoon.

As for tickets, you can avoid the Ticketmaster surcharge by buying them at the gate and yes, the local McDonald's is offering a $7 discount so that's certainly worth pursuing.

Also, if you happen to be there on Thursday, you can also take in Stock Class eliminations where "Big Daddy" Don Garlits is planning to debut his new Challenger.

No worries here. I sure hope you get the motor done soon!
If you dont mind can you give a rundone on the car and new motor?
Was that a pro stock car, or did someone else build it?

Re: US NATIONALS at Indy - HEMI Shootout - Whos going? - 08/21/09 01:30 AM

not a pro stocker but a Jerry Bickel chassis built for Rick Corn. I'll send a PM to take this off this thread.

Here is what i want to see.
Lil Joe vs Bucky in the final round.
Lil Joe wins by inches.
but you can never count out CW.
I also think Stephen Hebert might surprise some people.

John Baughman not on the list..bummer. What about the Barton Boys it would be nice to see them back dominating again...at least one of thier motors. Bucky Hess...yes that would be nice to him in the finals he's a good guy. How can you count out the CW's boys, I wouldnt know who to pick.

Re: US NATIONALS at Indy - HEMI Shootout - Whos going? - 08/21/09 03:35 AM

in my opinion you can never count out the CW's.
but it is racing for a reason, just because you are
supposed to win does not mean you will win.

Re: US NATIONALS at Indy - HEMI Shootout - Whos going? - 08/21/09 02:48 PM

I did some more checking - Ticketmaster is waiving their convenience fees for Nationals tickets.

There are still $20 Gen Adm. tickets available for Friday through Ticketmaster. Choose the "Fan Relief" option, the code is "relief".


OK. Back to the picks....

Probably to the millionth power. Hebert's exiled from France and dropped of in Nova Scotia a LONG time ago. PS I have never been to Indy much less participated. Everybody stop by and check out the "little blue car". Holt/Westcott's did a heck of a job.

I think it was a late decision. We all kind of thought it would happen.
But MOPAR did not announce it until a couple weeks ago.
I wish they would promote the HEMI's alot more.
They should promote them more than anything else in my opinion.

CW i guess that is a good problem to have.

Well that is pretty common. That is why they put casinos on the way to every track.
You could start playing double or nothing and try to win it back.

I came home a little earlier than i had planned.
Sadly the Teuton gang just couldnt hit the setup,
and they didnt make the field.They were getting it dialed in though.
It was great to see everyone though.
Thanks Don Bales and everyone who put on that great food!!
I had a blast, i mean it is Indy after all.
Frito it was great to hang out with you!
I sure hope everyone enjoyed it as much as i did.
