Re: Indy Question
 

We could have are own class eliminations. I know this sounds like a crazy concept, but when stock is called to the lanes have all of the same class arrive together. It will take a little work and a lot of cooperation, some will choose not to play and it will be their loss.

For me its going down the track with the same class car in the other lane. I want to go down with; Scott, Steve, Jim, Gary, Parker, John, Dave, and the rest that look in the mirror and say "I Got This".

128 field 160 entries you better have the wick turned up.

Class pairing by cards, four cars use two sets of cards. Each set would have matching numbers one red and one black.Like numbered race each other Red card gets lane choice.

Odd number of cars High card gets by, if a tie on high card a redraw from remaining cards for high card bye. It will take some work to have the fun we all came after.

Combo cars I think you are on your own.

If after two rounds of class, that is assuming we get two time trials. The higher qualified remaining would be class winner. Or we could make two time trials and call it a missed opportunity. What your thoughts, Lemons or Lemonade?

Everything will be unofficial, except the smile you get or thoughts of what could have been from running Class at Indy. The thoughts only last a lifetime!

Just a thought

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe they ran class in 1969 either? At least I know they did not in Super Stock.

Re: Indy Question
 

Maybe they could run Indy class at the Bowling Green points meet the weekend before Indy. Kinda like they do here in D2 with running the Gators class runoff at the Baby Gators the weekend before. They don't have time for class at the big Gators anymore.

Re: Indy Question
 

Agree Mike but I’m thinking if the Chicago National is the week before Indy I’m doubtful they’ll run BG the same weekend as Chicago...but who knows.

Re: Indy Question
 

I understand that there is some time and scheduling crunch this season but I just don’t believe that you take some of the luster off of the crown jewel of the season. Indy is the race of the year. For many of us winning class at The US Nationals is the highlight of an entire racing career. Change the schedule if they must to one time run and start class but I sure hope NHRA rethinks this one if it is truly what they are thinking.

Is this confirmed or a rumor?

Re: Indy Question
 

Highly doubtful any racing will be done at Route 66 raceway this season

Re: Indy Question
 

Officially.........NO. However they have contacted the All Star reps to see if they were good to race All Stars at U.S. Nationals and No Class Eliminations was what they were told.

Re: Indy Question
 

Why wouldn't they choose to run the Jegs All-Stars at the Jegs Sportsnationals in Columbus In July? Then there would still be time for class at Indy? Too logical???

For stock this year at Indy if they take 160 entries and with 128 qualified cars as in the past any prediction on the bump spot for the 128th qualifying spot and how much under will be #1
