Default Re: .Advisory committee

Jim , I think that the terminology came about because of this: For two days at Indy, you have a Q sheet only and then .....after class ,the last sheet reflects the class winner's final position .

In reality , they were there all along. The last ten or so on the sheet (118 -128) were not really in .
I guess you could call them Bump -outs.

I think that some of the newer / younger generation of racers never really grasped this concept.
Looks like a moot point now, anyway.
