Drake, if you read the previous post I stated."This is not to take away from BJ, Gary or Brian". They all worked hard to get them FFFords to run fast, no doubt about it. But, when you handed a killer combo with the stoke of a pen, it sure makes it easier. Three of the top five were given favorable factors. And you saw how far they can go under.

As you said this has been happening for years, but some of this stuff is just blatantly obvious. Gary & BJ have already been hit more than once with HP since last year, and they still qualify in the top five. BJ has brutalized the HP ratings and still flies. They work hard on their stuff and reaped the benefits. They got a good hand and played it well.

Just seems that U/SA is just a happy pen place, ie. The Banana Olds, McKays Regal, Shaw's Caddy & Capri, C-6 truck, Senia's Cimmaron, and the FFFord/Comet. They all were #1 qualifiers everywhere. Tell me another class where this has happened so frequently. But, hey, that is why I don't go to Indy, I cannot run 1.40 under.

Still, congratulations to BJ and Mike on your class win. Nice try Jack.

U/SA think I'll try something easy like Comp.
