Sure..but not just Indy. Anywhere with Class. 60 car fields too. Have to dial 3 tenths under in eliminator. Either that, or lower indexes 3 tenths....

Look out! INCOMING!!

I counted possibility of about 35 class winners at indy, that's excluding singles for class (leaving combo's). You would certainly get more diversity if class winners automatically got in elims. Fill rest of field with top qualifiers, then you might gets some heads up action!

I'll bet that they like Cuervo too!
Come on out Billy. We have everything from COPO Camaros to Pinto Wagons. Good racing and good people all over the place. You just might like it.

I never agreed with the change they made not allowing class winners entry into the field.....

I count 65 classes in Stock.
I think what they don’t want is to have 1 car in class be able to get into the
eliminator if per say he only runs 3 under when other cars go 85 under and
don’t get in. Kinda of a double edge sword.

I agree with what you're saying about "what they don't want" BUT, if a RACER in one of "their" Classes beats another Racer in the same Class, shouldn't that Racer be rewarded with a spot in the field at "their" most prestigious Race where ALL Classes are supposed to be on display no matter how fast he goes?
Let's be honest here, there are certain Classes that have combos in them that can go much faster than the combos available in other Classes so why should a Racer who wins his Class be "bounced" out of the field by a 1ST RD loser from a different Class? No matter HOW fast he goes against the index.

You might be right, Pete , but nobody told anyone that they had to build an A/SA "chaser" car. If they didn't get in by winning class, who's fault would it be ?

I agree with you Billy if their are 2 cars in class, The Class Winner should get in.
However if only 1 car in class, than i think it’s up for debate if he should get in,
unless they made a rule saying that car has to run at least 8 under their index.

If their is only 1 car in the class it would go into the combo be it stick or auto.So the winner of each combo would get in?. gsa612

I agree with Billy and Mark. In many classes there is nothing that fits the class that could possibly run .90 under the index.
