In fact, I rarely see AA class near the top of a qualifying list because of the unfavorable index.
Fred, those of us who asked for AA specifically requested the 10.90 index. We did so for a reason. We knew in advance it would almost certainly prevent a AA car from being a number one qualifier, and we also knew it would make it very difficult to qualify at Indy. We wanted it exactly the way it is.
