I do have a question for you tho concerning the Q32 race, after seeing how the FS cars owned the top half of the qualifying ladder at Indy. Should the Q32 really be called the FS32? LOL I'm just curious if any "real" stocker will be able to qualify with all the FS cars out there or are they going to be in a different class?

Honest question: What would Indy qualifying have looked like without the "FS" classes? There will be no "Factory Stock" class like NHRA's shootout. The "new cars" will be in their own "FX" designated classes, using their regular NHRA indexes, HP, and weight breaks -- basically just separating them from 'traditional' Stockers. I'm trying not to get into too much micromanaging of what the sanctioning bodies should or should not be doing with HP factors. My hope is that some of the combinations that need hit will do so on their own, as has been happening, albeit slowly. (outside of the Factory Stock Shootout deal at Indy and ZMax... but that's a discussion for another thread) There are a lot of aardvarks (as Billy would say) that will come out of the woodwork to make this event interesting. At this stage of the game, we will let this first year play out, and then see where that takes us for 2015. We've pretty well established the program for 2014. That will give us a baseline.

How do you think that conversation got started while Chris and I were sitting in the stands?
