There might be 200 if the field were OPEN but many events are limited due to space, time, etc....
The thing that keeps S and SS fun is the racers who LOVE to build cars and tune them to run fast. Seems many things become a negative to making one run fast by working on them but approved if they are a "new Kid on the block car"
Art, you are a perfect example. A fast car, scienced out , a pleasure to you. I give you credit for working within the rules, parameters whatever but......Who do you race if there are 3 cars?. If you were the fastest of a class with 20 cars even if they were all turbo, fwd cars wouldnt it seem greater accomplishment?. Especially if 15 came to INDY and YOU beat them all on common ground?
No disrespect intended to FWD, Turbo or 3 car classes, only discussion...

I race against everybody . It's called a qualifying sheet.
As far as popular classes goes.
Very simple answer Dick. TIME and MONEY. If you go into a popular class, unless you are underfactored greatly. You are going to get your A** handed to you till you spend a ton of "Time and Money". How many fast cars could go fast on wishes?
Try to S**t in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first?
