Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

I predict that #1 will be a V/SA car..or at least that it will be a showroom available combo
i.e. "Stocker"

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

questions i have for all the intelligent racers on here...
1. do you think the NO ahfs will attract racers who did not come last year ?
> i think if you was a bad *** you came any way ?
2. do you think the cars on the sheet -80 to -1.00 wasnt all in ?
> judging from the dry ice and bagged ice sales alone i think they was trying ?
3. if the top 20 go another -.25 from last year will it change the cut ?
> not from my viewpoint am i wrong ?
4. only difference will be the .05 or so everyone picks up each year you think ?
> i do ... -.95 will get in

Not a bad analysis Captain, I predict that the 2 U/sa cars will both hail from the Bluegrass State. Edit....Oh, sorry Captain, I missed the intelligent racers part.....

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

1. Yes, I think some cars that could go really far under but didn't want to get hit will show. I am not sure of any cars that are in the quicker classes that this would apply to, but I think cars from about O/SA and slower will have more entries.

2. I think the vast majority of cars -.95 under or slower are all in. I would imagine there are some that were quicker than -.95 that had more left. I'm not saying everybody that fast did, but I would think there are a few.

3. The only way the top 20 will effect the bump is if a bunch of cars that weren't at indy last year come. This includes obscure combos not just new cars.

4. Weather conditions can make a huge difference. If you get a morning session with cool Temps you can move the bump up quite a bit. The number of entries will make a difference too. I believe they has more entries in 2014, and I think the bump was higher even with no mineshaft rule.

Bottom line is at Indy most guys won't be holding any or very little unless they can go over-1.20 all in. I would never chance not getting to race to save some for later. I don't think the bump will be higher than -.95

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

Does anyone pay top qualifier money for stock and super stock at the US Nationals? That would be very interesting.

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

Now that's a funny one right there.......

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

Winston used to pay top qualifier and Sealed Power used to pay but nobody does anymore.

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

How about this. I will pay $100 to the top qualifier if it is a Mopar, and I will double that if it is older than a 2008. Stock Eliminator. Maybe someone else will offer something. FS/XX and FS/X can't play. Final qualifying sheet.

Re: Indy I will start How far under
 

Geesch, Jeff, a whole $100 bucks! Didn't realize just how much you throw money around

I'll call your $100, and make it $250 for top qualified Traditional SS, final sheet

Anybody else?
