Michael,

I'm sure there is a lot to examine in that area, too; but this Index business sticks out like a sore thumb, and actually looks more like a typo than anything else. Makes it unnecessarily hard to qualify for Indy with an A/SA car, I would think... but some get it done. It helps if you have a new, paper/crate-motor, car with an Alice in Wonderland HP factor...
