Mark do you think all the guys in the 1990's liked the LT1 @ 275 HP? They were able to beat older cars single handed(what happend there). Just like the olds combos of the 1980's. just like the mopar combos of the 1960's. New cars beating old cars is nothing new.

If you look at all class winners at INDY this year they were mostly old cars. There were 8 total class winners with cars newer then 2007. AA,BB,CC FS/S,F/SA,E/SA,A/SA and stick combo. 8 out of the 28 stk class winners.
AA,BB,CC and FS/S are mostly new car classes. When you take that into account that means only 4 classes a INDY were affected by new cars.
