I'm not talking about last years winners.
There are a lot of GFOGH people that are not fast and who think they are.
A win in CLASS sorts that out.
Try it you might like it.
Travel across the country to race the best, who traveled across the country to race you.
I am trying not be a jerk, but if you haven't done it than it's very difficult to get what INDY is all about.

Yeah, I guess I misread that you meant win class and then auto entered into eliminations, in the same year of the event. Fair enough. Been to Indy multiple times as a spectator and with my Dad's different cars. I believe I get what it is about, but I have never felt the feeling of standing in front of the class winner billboard as the winner, or made the field as a driver, or turned the corner to see a packed grandstands, etc. So it turns out I probably don't get INDY.
I respectfully still think 128 best qualifying times should be the measure. I also think previous national champs shouldn't get an exemption, but like everyone else, I am entitled to my 'wrong' or unpopular opinion.
Got 3 kids, 2 of them under 3 yrs old. I plan to race at the 'Big Go' in 5-10 years, in Super Stock. SS/FA or SS/GA. We'll see if I can make the field or look stupid trying...
Either way, I don't get a lot work done this week every year, checking run sheets, forums, youtube live feed watching the sportsman, facebook, etc. Good luck Bob if you are racing there, and to anyone else. Most important to me, hoping no one gets hurt racing, pits, etc...
