That is why I believe Indy is where it is needed the most.



I thought that's what National Opens were for.



Yes, if you think you can actually pull that off. Again proving that is why this system was basically created for this event, one where everyone has to run as fast as they can or are capable of, just to make the field and/or win class.



I have to disagree because I think it is turning this prestigious event into somewhat of a joke.



Yes, I do believe some racers would not care about their combo getting hit to win class at Indy. Especially a bucket list racer like me who may hit that event once or twice in my life. And at national events with only 50 cars it's not likely you will ever have to "turn it up." They are all-run situations so there is no need to go fast to make the field and if there is a heads-up you try to go .99 under for the win. So basically proving my point a third time that this system needs to be in place at Indy, where 30+ cars aren't making the show.
Ya know kid, yer makin' a lot of sense here. Maybe enough (but I doubt it) to convince these 3 old sages of Stock to change their minds.
