If they are, everybody should be, imho.

Ed, It makes way to much sense, but I like the way you think.

Re: Indy stock low qualifier
 

Any body know if the factory show down cars can go as fast as they want with out the AHFS giving them horse power. There were 7 cars on the qualify sheet that went faster than 1.20 under the factory show down index. Are the factory index the same as what they would be if they were in there normal class as in weight and index the same?

No

The Factory Stock Showdown indexes are 10.10 and 10.40; last year they were 10.20 and 10.50.

Re: Indy stock low qualifier
 

I wonder if these 2012 rules are the same for 2014 ?

Re: Indy stock low qualifier
 

They are not the same rules.

Re: Indy stock low qualifier
 

As I stated in an earlier post; the indexes for 2014 are 10.10 and 10.40, not 9.90 as they were in 2012. I don't have access to the rest of the rules, but I am quite sure that they will be published before Indy.
