Yes they are just going to have to get into the stock eliminator field with how far under the 9.90 index they can go - it is not really a race with in a race - it is class eliminations for FSS - I just posted in the other thread - if Joeseph is right with the .73 under to get in stock eliminator - it will take a 9.17 from an FSS car - I personally think there are no dodges which can do that in INDY air - the CJs - well that is a different story - Butner went 9.11 this morning at BG and he was more than likely at the FSS weight or perhaps even over the required 3675 - Helms in a three speed in SS/DA only went 9.26 with a minimum of 3545 (only 450 hp in SS) - so he could be a little lighter (3475) - but he has a 3spd - which is not legal in FSS or stock
