Did I metion it is the most important race of the year or did you miss that part and just zoned in on the "Dummy" Part !!!!!!! I know WHY everyone does it but not everyone is as well off as say Jeff and his fleet of DP's. Enjoy it while you can.

Certainly any of us that can even consider going to a race period are fortunate in this economy, but you don't have to have a $100,000 car and a $300,000 tow rig to win!
We lived in a Pop Up camper that we got for $500 and a 25 year old 22 ft enclosed trailer the year we won. The car was a very good car that ran well for sure, but not one out of reach.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the races and having a good time. I also know that whatever class we are entered in, we will do anything and everything to prepare our car to kick butt. If it doesn't work out, well, we are going down swinging! Then afterwards, we will find the racer that we raced and go have a beer together!
I think it will fill up in stock or very close to it. It has seemed like many have waited to the deadline the last few years. I think that will be the case again.
I also will stick my neck out and say that the bump will be .798 in stock. I believe the top 50 will be farther under than last year, but the last 28 qualiiers will be within .05 of last year. ( barring any weather anomolies)
One thing I hope will be very exciting is the fact that some of the new hotdog cars will actually have to run each other. This is where ( finally the Bullsh**) stops. I mean, if you don't leg it out at Indy heads up, what else would you possibly be saving it for?
And if you are in A/Stick or A/SA the Challenge is getting interesting! We have more stuff for the winners than any other class at Indy this year bar none! Keep your eyes on the sticky post on the challenge for updates as the Schwag keeps rolling in from the many that STILL support Heads up Class Racing! Thanks to All!!!
Just my humble opinion! WFO!!! LOL.
