Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

All of the ones without a single!!!!

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

A,B,C and F,G,H auto usually have a high number of cars..as well as aa/sa and some stick classes.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

Probably a Caddy !

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

GT/AA will probably be good again. Anyone know of any more new combos coming? The 454" got hit pretty good. Will Bo's time-out be over? The new crank won't slow that car down any. Got that from a pretty good source.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

I think Jerry Bennett will be tough in D/SA.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

what about ss/b stick 2 t-bolts a corvette and possibly a hemi belvedere,and an amx

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

SS/AH got 22 cars. But Bryan got it right, any class without a single.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

last year at indy it was boudreau over richardson in c/sa for class . corda was running b/sa in his corvette.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

GT/I with Tim Nicholson, Gene Bichlmeier, Robin Brown, maybe Bill Zaskowski if he runs I instead of J. It will be good no doubt.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

Hey Randy have you talked to Hawk? Did he tell you how slow the ol mule motor is.....

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

yeah billy and i took the engine over to morgans last friday can't believe it ran 10.29 at norwalk with all the problems it had.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

a good class race will be s/stock ja,a little (305) from hebron ky will win class!!!!!!! (3215 SS/JA IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

The current official entry list for SS/B is:
#169 - Paul Adams - T-bolt
#315 - Ray Pacquet - T-bolt
#364 - Tony Depillo - '64 Plymouth
#1129 - Ralph Porpora - '66 Corvette
#2018 - Jimmy Bridges - '66 Corvette
2 T- bolts, 2 Vettes, 1 Hemi Plymouth; the quota is 180 and they are now over quota at 181. Someone will have to withdraw in order for any 390 AMXs, or anyone else, to enter. It was a great class last year, and it should be great again.

He'll have to handle that little red Plymouth from Lousiana to do it. Nobody has so far. That 4 hp it got won't bother them.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

With 181 cars on the entry list; SS is over quota. There are 24 SS/AH cars currently on the list; the Hemi Challenge should be great, as usual, especially with final being run at night on Friday.
This is the best time of the year for me; I spend 4 days at Reading, 6 days at Indy, and 4 days at Charlotte, it doesn't get much better than that!

captain jack,
You must be talking about the car your face has been around for a while.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

In SS/B I like the old man " EL Cheapo" Jimmy Bridges. In fact I think he won last year!

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

the captain swore he'd never run indy again after the BS class winner rule change after 50 years...
bob shaw swore he'd not run u/sa again...

SO FOLKS ... u/sa is wide open... get your wally and picture here !

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

I got to agree with Larry Hill , SS/B you have Tony DePillo's 64 Savoy, Paul Adams and his record holding T-Bolt, Pay Paquet, the killer corvettes of Ralph Porpora & Jimmy Bridges and dont count out the AMX of Gus Adkins

This will be a great class runoff, not a "Cash cow" that Mopar is making SS/AH to be for one racer

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

Adkins isn't entered yet, and SS is 2 cars over quota; and, to my knowledge, Adkins doesn't have a Gold Card, Silver Card etc. If that is true, it is my understanding that someone will have to withdraw for him to be able to enter. However, with the 5 cars that are on the entry list, SS/B should still be great.

i believe joey wilkes will win e/sa.he will have to go 1.30 under.which won't be a problem. randy payne

moooo!
 

what are you trying to say nitro? I heard that there will be PA cars there with 1000hp, so I am probably going to stay home and graze.

LOL LOL @ Charlie. Graze the field ..

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

when the quoto opens up a two can get in before a five if he jumps in at the right time.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

Jerry, I was going by what you said. "So it's going to take 3 or more to get in no matter how many cancel" I was saying if the quota falls below, a #1 grade point can get in.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

what about gt/ia lot of fast 318 cars . 6 cars entered and ss/ga also 6 cars who will be on top. jim 4115

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

I know with the current ahfs rules the majority of the competetive class elims at indy will result in horsepower adjustments at the end of the year.

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

This is not a response to stir up "poop" but dont you really think a lot of them truley need it?

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

The smart guys will win class then put it in .75 under bracket mode to clean up their quick times in class

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

M/SA will be a good show !!!

Re: Indy Class Battles: Which classes will be the most competitive?
 

I'm with you on that Kevin, although since they merged the stick & auto fwd classes together, those cars might have automatics in them...I think Steve's is a stick, but I think the Topaz is an automatic.
