Re: Should Indy be an All Run Field in Stock?
Because some can, and some cant qualify at INDY we should change the rules? If the Factory Stock cars didn't have such a soft index more of the older cars would get in. They need to fix that.
Some guys need to learn how to tune in bad air, other cars have had to much HP on them. I know a few guys who didn't qualify their first trip, learned and tested before the next time. Then they got in. Sometimes its about working on your car and knowing what to do. I've been there 5 years. Almost every time, I got in on the last run. I spent 3 weeks working on my car, and testing to get in this last one. Made a converter change at Cecil County on Thursday. Drove home that night and came back to race on Saturday. On the Tuesday after. I made 7 more runs to get my car where I thought it was the best it could be. Still needed to go to the Nuclear option on Thursday morning to get in. That's what Indy is all about. Digging deep and finding something to get it done and not giving up. If things were up to me, Id have the LODS race at Lebanon Valley before Indy In division 1. Going fast at Cecil means nothing. The place is always a mine shaft, even when its bad, and racers get a false sense of security on how their stuff is tuned or running. Fix the FSB index, rate the new factory race cars a little closer to reality, and leave Indy alone. If you want to have a 100% of qualifying, go to any other national event and race. Leave Indy alone. It's the one race that reminds people that our class is a performance based, not just watered down cement mixer bracket cars with letters on the windows, and big camshafts....... |

Factory Stock, Let Them Have Their Own Eliminator. ( 64 Qualified Cars ) Period.
Just For Indy They Can Do This Format. The Rest Of Us Poor People, 128 Qualified Cars. |

Re: Should Indy be an All Run Field in Stock?
[QUOTE=Todd Hoven;180894]Daryl, You should take some of the runner up money you made last year at the Sports Nats, and work on your car. Or better yet instead of beating the keyboard all day long trying to convince other stock racers to get on board with this BS plan of an all run field, maybe get out and TEST with your car. Maybe your next heads up will be a little closer. Indy should be brought back to the way it was. CLASS WINNERS and then the rest of the quailfied field should given the privlige of racing first round and the most prestigious race on the NHRA circut. If you want to do something for the guys that don't make the 128, give them a free ice cream when qualifiying and class is over. Hey, nobody is having a bad day when they are eating ice cream. :)
Fix Indy back to where is should be. Class winers first. Off the soap box.[/QUOT AMEN !!!!! |

If 80 Cars Show Up In The Factory Stock Class, Than It's 80 x ( $500 To Enter Indy Right ?? ) $4,000 Taken In. Winner- $2,000 R.U.- $500. Semi's- $300. Quarters- $200. Plus Maybe The Big 3 Can Add Some $$$$ To The Pot. Like The Hemi Shoot-Out. |
