Didn't get anything, probably went to an outdated e-mail. Use staginglight@gmail.com. Thanks!

The Mustang was sold and I think Velde may have wound up with it but I'm not sure. His dad Jim was awesome as well! Last I heard Matt is a local politician in MD.

I was only 9 at the time, but I remember watching Matt's Mustang run at the first class nationals in 2001. That car was a beast! I absolutely loved top stock.

We did it one year in D5. It was a blast bumping in and putting it on the limiter waiting for the pro tree to light up.

Doesn't appear that AA got any help with the index from NHRA. Plenty tough deal for those cars to qualify at Indy. - JB-

The former "CC" class

Yes I knew it was cc but I thought maybe it would be changed for the new year.

I find this an absolute mistake! I can't believe anyone could possibly think that a traditional stocker could ever qualify at Indy running off a 10.60 index at 7.5 pounds per factored HP!. This must be changed so we need anyone who cares about running this class to write the committee for an adjustment.asap. If enough racers follow through- perhaps it can be corrected before Indy next year.

IMHO the correct index for this class should be in the 10.75 to10.80 range keeping it in line with A/S.
