Default Re: Old vs New during rounds

Cobra Jets > COPOs > Drag Paks > 90's FI > Carbureted Dinosaurs.

If I were betting on class eliminations at Indy, I could win a TON of money using this formula. There are a few exceptions, like David Barton, and occasionally a Teuton, but for the vast majority this holds true. It makes Class Eliminations very predictable and BORING.

1st round Class Eliminations last year, '09-up cars won every race against an older car, except 3 redlights and a 1 holeshot.

90's model FI cars won 12/16 against carbureted cars, not counting broken cars or redlights.

I liked the idea of the Factory Supercar Class at Indy, but it was all too predictable as well (see the formula above). BORING!
