Default Qualified for US nationals video of run

I made it into indy for first time barely #125 out of 128 stock eliminator cars, tough field. I decided to stay in C/S was debating on what the weight diff in D/S would do. For those of you that don't know Indy only lets 128 cars race you have to qualify so I was pumped! I made it to the 2nd round and lost oh well maybe next year. Stock gm shortblock,stock intake, stock unported t/b,stock compression! On
9 inch tires!

Saw it on the NHRA.com site. Congrats Tim, just making the field is a big deal! Maybe next year you'll get further in eliminations.

How'd you like the new LED bulbs that replaced the pre-stage/stage yellow bulbs on top of the 'tree?

Congrats! I was racing at the LTX Shootout last weekend with Daren Poole-Adams in his stock eliminator LT1 car. He has in my class. The one run he was right before me as I was in the burnout pit. All I saw was his hood when he launched! You stock eliminator guys have the chassis science down to a "T". My favorite class by far.

Thanks guys that was one of my goals to qualify. The new stage lights are different. First time I saw them was in Topeka it was different but just like anything you get used to it.
