Ya know, it's a funny thing but a bunch of the "cream of the crop" don't show up at Indy!

Mark, you should know better than that. Keep it LEGAL and it won't be easy.
I see your point but it's a little too late for that, doncha think?

I guess that will depend on the weather.

It doesn't matter how old or new your car is its how deep your wallet is. As a school teacher I race on a limited budget and if this change is made I'll be done with stock. I love to race but chasing stock eliminator has gotten way out of hand. Just my 2cents.

Does anyone test and work on their cars any more or do you prefer to get on here and just complain that you must be a millionaire or cheating to have a fast car. Believe me when I tell you no one that I know has a lower budget than my brother. Yet he has always one of the fastest cars in whatever class he runs. Now if you want to say he must be cheating I prefer you tell us at the track and not on the keyboard. BP

Looks like you can run 2/10's under, with a good, proven combination.
What's the problem? There are Mopar guys here that could get you two more tenths over the phone.
Of course you still won't survive too many heads up runs, but you knew that going in, didn't you?

The less knowledge that you have, the more expensive a fast racecar is...

I would prefer they adjust the AHFS rather than lower the index's. I understand you need to play the AHFS game but it would be nice to see it reflect the increase in ET's over the last 13 years. Just take a look at Indy's fast cars in each class back then and compare it to this year.

I work on my car all the time and probably spent more than I should of to get the car back out. I never said anyone is cheating nor did I say you have to be a millionaire to race, it has just gotten a little out of control.
