We have run a best of 9.29 in the No Problem heat and another 9.26 with the other car, but we could not duplicate it. Got to low .30's. I don't think that will get in the Big Show. Last year we ran 9.47 fastest in Indy with a two speed. We have not touched the motors. 000 has over 300 runs that we know of.

That is the same thing I am saying, I think with the added weight on the cobra jet, I think it will become a 9.30 to 9.40 car, and I am talking about the fastest ones, I don't think that will get them into the big show either. I don't see the reason many will change their cars just to race in the shoot out, knowing they may not qualify for the big show. The index should have been in the 10.20 to 10.30 range.
