"Indy Observation" In Stock Elim.

Pistol Pete · 08-30-2014, 08:56 AM

I counted 71 New Cars That Qualified Out Of 128 Cars.

By New Cars I mean 2008 & Up.

Seems to me they should have a 64 Car Field Just For Them and the cars
that didn't get in COULD be in, in the 128 car field, instead of them going home
as a non- qualifier.

And I Know All Racers Know This Going In.

Seems like their is enough of new cars out there to be in their "Own Eliminator"

Just my 2 cents.

I think you are dead on with this thought. The other part of it is the fact that they are not subject to the AHFS when they are in the factory shoot out classes. It won't be to much longer until these will be the only cars in stock at Indy if this is not addressed.

Next year there will be 128 pick up trucks and all the newer cars will be DNQ.

I look at the new names in this class that have a copo,,drag pak,cobra jet,that are in the show and alot of hard workin drivers that have tweaked almost every bit of H.P out of their combos for years lookin in,.Back in the 60,s they made x amount of factory race cars,now this is a production run of them it seems,hey ,they are fast cars and sharp,but it should have been a limited run of them and THATS IT an old friend used to say. Thats my opinion.

How nhra can justify having combinations that can run balls-out with no penalty on the same qualifying sheet as combinations that are penalized with more HP if they exceed an ET is beyond any rational persons comprehension!!!!!

Yes, I agree with you Bill.
Should not be on same qualifying sheet with NO penalty towards the AHFS.

Than the other cars should be able to go ALL OUT With No Penalty As Well.
Make it fair for everyone.

Or as i stated in my 1st post: Put them in their own Eliminator, their is enough cars
that's for sure.

A decision like this would make a lot of sense. I believe many of these cars are still being run conservatively. If they were separated it would be some exciting racing with a level of competition with "all the cards on the table". The majority of the cars that did not qualify still all run respectively under their indexes and normally would have been part of a National Event Show. Maybe "they" have recognized it as being the "Stock Eliminator" (interpretation). The best part of the Final Stock Qualifying was who was on top. MB.
