Indy Testing
All the Tuiesday test runs are documented at Drag Race Central - things started off slow after the extra day at Memphis, but the pace really picked up in the late afternoon and evening - both in the number of runs and the resulting performances.

It's completely unpainted, stealth black, and he only ran it in the night session - not sure what the pictures look like, but black-on-black is hard to photograph. It looks like a Camaro Batmobile...

I met a couple who lives off of 10th st. and Raceway in Avon which is about 3 mi. from the track, and they say for some reason the cars are louder during testing. I'm guessing because the stands are empty the sound travels faster?

I hope the Hartley's can find a good baseline.
gotta' give them credit for spending the $$ to test.
they should be at most of the remaining nhra national events.
the last one or two qualifying spots are getting harder & harder
for the few independents teams out there.
