Now there are a lot of great stockers at Indy that will sit out eliminations because these cars eat up 30 and more of the 128 spots. Only good news you don't have to run them in class but that's as far as most will go this year. 1.3 under will they get HP or not?

Yes I agree something really needs to be done about these cars as there will only continue to be more of them each year. 62 FS cars went down the track in Q1 with 44 of them already in the field! How can you have 44 qualified cars, so far, that are not subjected to HP correction or even factored into the mineshaft rule? Don't separate them, just bring their indexes a little closer to reality. I like factory cars in stock.
Number 77th qualifier actually is the 43rd qualifier based on mineshaft rule since there are 84 old iron cars currently qualified this requires 43 old cars to be -.85 under. He is -.929 under so the mineshaft rule is in effect.
