Great first round in Fuel classes, all 4 lanes are good and some good numbers!!!! John went 4.08!

Not that jazzed on 4 wide, but some good racing

Sure would love to be there standing right between lanes 2 and 3 when the fuel cars launch!!!! Not sure there's words to describe what that must sound like!

Sure would be a hoot

what did you say??? this damn ringing in my ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I have to agree with Jerry on that one. LOL.

Once at Indy, Keeling wasn't there yet and he usually poured the bleach for the burnout and I was down track to push the car back to the line----since John wasn't there, I poured the bleach in front of left tire, stepped over body in front of engine and poured for right tire--gave thumbs up and go motion----same time as John Wiebe hit it in the right lane---I was between the two of them, sticky VHT fingers , no hearing protection--- and on a burn out they don't move as fast as a run but with wheels spinning ---there was no place for me to go--loud----------------WHAT????????????

I never flagged a fuel car, only gas, and out in the middle of the strip it got pretty loud and I never wore any ear protection, not cool you know, and my hearing is pretty good.
But I don't think you could pay me enough to flag a couple of fuelers
