Bruce,It's happening as we speak but we have no grade points to get in.* Just no time or desire to chase them anymore but we will likely show up at the Indy National open in the Fall, and perhaps if we could get enough willing sponsors and interested racers to put up enough money, more cars would show up?I'm already sponsoring Dick Butlers T/STK program for 100 per race so perhaps Dick would be willing to change the weight break for that event "as a trial" so that more cars might possibly show?* With the current NHRA HP ratings 8.25 pounds perfactored HP plus 170 for the driver is is just too heavy.* I know I'm not to hot about racing my 396/375/400 carrying 3470 pounds of weight.* Maybe* a good trial weight for one event would be 8.25 pounds per factored HP including the driver?Anyway, sorry to have gone "off topic" here but I'm glad to support the A Stickers at Indy and good luck to all racers in EVERY class!
