Indy Quota
 
If I'm correct there were 180 car quota in Stock at last year's Indy, now it's 160 and on the 65th anniversary of the race. I guess it's less disappointing for the 32 cars that don't qualify rather than 52 cars. NHRA should realize that they are giving up $5000 in revenue and that's just for Stock, never mind SS for no real reason. There is plenty of parking in the past and I don't thing that they sold any property of the facility.

Re: Indy Quota
 
The decrease in quotas is most likely due to the added Top Dragster and Top Sportsman classes.

If memory serves me correct, the TD class filled in 48-72 hours after opening at grade point 8...

Usually takes about 85-88 under to get in.

Last year 171 Stocker tried to qualify at Indy. There were around 33 Factory Stockers making first round of eliminations. That includes one FS car that got in as a alternate. There were 3 alternates that got to race, and the last one was .887 under.

I'm planning on going as long as I can get in and out of my car, you only go once around in life, I'm trying to make the best of it. Doesn't matter to me if I get into the field or not, I'm there having fun. Really fast race car isn't in my vocabulary as long as they give HP back to combo's that are too soft.
