I don't run Stock, but am just curious. Since those cars are SO under factored, why would they have a softer index than the stock class they fit?

If somebody wants to run the cars & engines like they came, do they really deserve to qualify at Indy?

Seems like guys like Patterson and Barton have shown how fast those things are if prepped like the older cars. Todd Patterson pushed that CC/SA COPO in neutral at 1000' first pass at No Problem last week and went 1.27 under. I guess the 427" COPO racers are glad it was test & tune day, the race had not started.

Yeah, they need a tenth softer index. LOL
