It was pretty cool to see Blake Alexander win today. Overall, was a very good event.
Who says the reduced track prep doesn’t make for exciting racing?

Didn’t Rieff say it was only the second time in history the #12 and #15 qualifiers met in a TF final round?
Alexander was pretty stoic all day but that first win brought out the emotions and that was neat to see.
Doesn't Bob Vandergrif show up every so often and win (or do really well in) a race?
Does he keep upgrading his equipment or is his stuff better suited to the new track prep?
That may be true to a point, but I think it's more about depth of parts inventory and the budget to make laps and attend events. Most of the part timers, like Dakin, Zizzo, and BVR have all the right stuff when they come to the line.I think Zizzo and Blake have shown part timers can be competitive if they have the right equipment and crew. Unfortunately a lot of the part timers don't have the funds to have the best stuff.
It's great to have the right parts and inventory, but those parts can be tossed in the garbage can in a hurry if the human element can't maintain those parts. It's A LOT harder than it looks.That may be true to a point, but I think it's more about depth of parts inventory and the budget to make laps and attend events.

Oh I don’t doubt that Tony! Any shot you guys will do Indy?It's great to have the right parts and inventory, but those parts can be tossed in the garbage can in a hurry if the human element can't maintain those parts. It's A LOT harder than it looks.
I think Scott Palmer said it best to me at RT66 this year....It makes a huge difference to have people working on your race car who care about what they are doing. There have been many times where it's late at the raceshop, I'm tired, by myself and I shim a lock up button +/-.001...does it really make a difference?? Maybe, maybe not, but why do I do it? Because I care and so do the rest of our guys. I think it shows when we do get to go race.Oh I don’t doubt that Tony! Any shot you guys will do Indy?
