What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

We have talked about the bump for Indy, Now what do you think it will take for the pole in S/SS. With all the talk about the CJ's and DP's what do you think.

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

I would guess -1.18 in Super Stock.


Stock I would put at -1.30+:eek:

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

I'm Guessing about a second and change under the new index's Say like 1.02-1.08 under Maybe faster if the mustangs make a mistake and have to show more than they want..

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

What is the DA prediction? @ 3000-3500 I am guessing 1.24-1.30 in stock.

Unless DP's or Cobra jets run each other or someone with one of these cars lets it hang out there is no way someone will be 1.20 - 1.30 under in stock, that would be 1.50 - 1.60 under the old index ..

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Superstock pole will be over -1.20

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

I will go with -1.12 on this one. -1.30+ would be possible by a few, but to take HP would not be wise to do. As far as I have ever known, it doesn't pay to be #1 qualifier, not in money or short lived ego boosting. The DA will be no less than 2800' I would predict. If you can run -1.30 in 3000' DA, then you you probably have a soft HP rating to begin with. Just an observation.

You can do that with ease there Charley!

And Chuck, your point being? LOL

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

My prediction is Larry Hill will put a stick shift is one of three of his stock cars.. ;).... Truck...lol... and will run 1.45 under to take the pole position.

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

#1 was 1.41 under last year.

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

I was #1 in 08 at 1.43 under that would be 1.13 under todays index's. So I stick by My 1.08 under as long as the Mustangs don't have to show it all. If they do well that estimate goes out the window.

The truck's not coming back out until the 60th US Nationals, and we're just hoping to qualify with the Cuda!

Eric merryfield went 1.26 under at Bristol and it was about 4 tenths slow there that would be 1.96 under the old index.

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Remember stock runs at 7:30 in the morning. The air was about 1600' I think the air was better than 3000' that early in the morning. It is probably going to take a Tuesday hit in stock,
Superstock runs later It might be a Tuesday hit but I'll predict 1.15 for the pole.

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Uh Bob Shaw will be in attendance.However fast he wants to go.Bring on the CJs/DPs
or whatever.Bob's the man.

Darn it!

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Jeff,
The point is, I am sure you can did it with your rocket ship ... if you take the thottle stop off .. but the question is who will do it ?

Mickey,
Does not make much difference but those cars got 10 ..

Charley,
A 1.20 under for you is a tune up of about 75% ..

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Bob Shaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
Cadillac,remember????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

Ed

We all know Bob will be there, But I doubt he will want the #1 Spot. Getting beaten up by NHRA for the #1 spot, once is enough. Plus I'm not sure even Bob's Caddy could run with some of the Mustangs if they really opened it up..

Re: What will it take for the pole at Indy
 

We'll see.
