I got a chance to race in the biggest race of the year. I don't give a ---- about monkey pox, or strategic oil deposits!

It's close enough now that I guess I better revise my earlier prediction. The weather looks like it will be much better than I expected,resulting in far fewer withdrawals.
I don't know what the exact bump will be,but I would expect a second under in the morning air is what it will take to make it without having to worry about it.

Re: Number 128 Stock Qualifier @ Indy
 

With Thursday morning weather on pace to be the best air we have seen in many years at this place, I will say. -.900 will not be in the top 128 Stockers on Thursday night after the dust clears. If you look a nitro joe stats 100-110 plus stockers have been around -1.00 this season. At this time that leaves 50 plus cars fighting for around 18 spots.

I agree with you Charley. I think we are going to settle around similar to 2019....when we also had a cool morning for first round of class.

In 2019, there were 93 cars 1.00 second under, with a similar number of entrants as current projections. The bump in 2019 was 0.867 under. You would have to think people have improved their cars in 3 years, with additional good morning air projected currently. I think that moves the bump .04-.05 better than 2019.

I am putting the bump at 0.913 under.

882. Under.

Re: Number 128 Stock Qualifier @ Indy
 

Well , the bump is 83.9 under ….80 cars ran one second under the index …..

I believe Bob Bender had the closest prediction.
