Re: Randy Mans DQ?
Kinda funny the quickest guy that has been in the A/S challenge in the
last few yrs can get “PENCIL WHiPPED” out of competition sounds like the Competition is Scared! Just my .02

Re: Randy Mans DQ?
The people who want a "Carburetor" only A/S Challenge is understandable
because they think the F.I. cars have an advantage. I think they are fortunate that Randy and Mike are busy people, because if they built a combination that fit the rules, the new rule would be no competitors with 4 letter last names. J.R. |

Re: Randy Mans DQ?
James, no one in their right mind would ever think, or even fathom, or even
dare, to disagree with you. I have heard far too many stories about the "MAD HAWAIIAN". I'm allergic to cement shoes. J.R. |

Re: Randy Mans DQ?
Take the LS combos out of the equation for a moment and humor me if you will. Last year at Indy, E1 of class Jim Boudreau ran 9.92 in B/SA at 3,610 lbs. The fastest A/S with the same engine combination (rated 5hp less) ran 9.821 at 3,370lbs. That's 240lbs difference and the stick combination is only .10 faster on the same track, on the same day. The answer is simple: there is plenty more potential in the big block, carbureted stick shift combinations. Regardless of other combinations in whichever class they are participating in - those cars have at least another tenth in them so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Re: Randy Mans DQ?
Both answers are incorrect. Caleb McFarland is the fastest A/S car as he set the record at Indy Open running 9.67 @ 137
