I don't see how someone on the inside couldn't calculate what we could see from the outside that there weren't enough hours in the day or days in the event to run the traditional class eliminations at Indy. That is simple logic.

That has zero impact on the Pros if they get held over from the week before at Atlanta. Any Stock or Super Stock racers that are that late into eliminations at Atlanta are probably happy as I would be and the drive to Indy wouldn't be all that bad as a rush.

Sorry for the multiple quotes, but you hit on two points that I feel the NHRA laid down and gave a lame solution.
