"Indy Observation" In Stock Elim.

[cicero819]

Just got back from Indy and I have to say that you cannot have any more cars in there, are you going to now show up on Saturday of the previous week to qualify and make runs. Just look after the accident involving Calvert's Mustang running into the sand trap and getting caught by the safety strapping it took NHRA working at full bore three hours to return to action, consider that all cars having diapers have saved the track cleaning time, it's still incredible that they can get all the show in. Yes I know class qualifying and elimination isn't what it was once but it still is one hell of a show. Hopefully the Jeg's SportsNational will bring back the rests of the show. All I can Say is that I love Indy even at 100 degrees over temp.lol Claude Ruel

You'd be amazed what could be done if the show was better run.

If you took the new cars and put them in their own Factory Experimental class, as has been suggested for the last 5-6 years, you could get them on the grounds. You'd have a 64 car field. You had 34 of them in the top of Stock on the qualifying sheet. Drop the Stock quota to 180 and there is a room for 20 cars right there.

Factory Experimental would be the solution to so many problems. And give the factory what they really want from those cars.
