Back from Indy-what's happened to Stock Eliminator??

[BadBanana]

I see Ben Wenzel is still in the hunt at Indy. Good going Ben. I remember when he won with an early Z-28 (I think). Is it the same car/combination? I ran a Z-28 in F/S back in the early 70s under the Truppi-Kling banner. It held the speed record while Tony Pizzi had the et record. John Burkholder had the hot Z-28 in G/S ('69 Z) back then and founded B&B perf.

It's the same '67 Z-28 he won Indy with back in 1967.

I just got back home yesterday and Indy was as awesome as usual. As usual, most of the same people are complaining about the same old horsepower factors and the new cars. Many of the same people complaining couldn't run with the old cars that are out there, let alone the new Mustangs and Drag Pak cars. Guys if you want to race at Indy, you have to show up there. That means either buying a car, or building one, and racing it. I have never seen it as easy as it was to make the program this year. Some guys must beleive the hype on this forum because many stayed home. Some of the faster classes are in the Milionaires club but there are many classes of stock that an average guy, or pair of guys could afford, if you are willing to put a car together but you have to do it. Stop complaining , now is the time to start on something for next year and remember if you don't show up at Indy you can't win at Indy.
