Wrong. The P/W ratio is 7.57 making the car naturally fall into AA and you are allowed to drop down a class. When the combination hits 455 HP then it will be AA only.

When exactly did I "bomb" the combination at Indy? Show me the results. That has to be 10 years ago. I remember the combination getting slammed before it ever hit the track because others were complaining about it.

Which combination are you running? Iron or aluminum heads? Single 4 or crossram? Sounds like you're claiming the aluminum headed engine which carries extra weight. Put some iron heads on there and lose the weight. I guess it's easier to place the blame on me.

Ok sorry I was mis informed..
No problem..it's 445 now..we may be AA only soon enough

[Michael Barton]

My, my, my... you guys. Lol

David,
Everyone takes a shot at you because you are the baddest dude at the track and with that carries a target on your back. Relax and enjoy your success, you earned it the old fashioned way, hard work.
Indy is going to be very special this year.

[Tuki]

That's very true..and it's good for some good old fashioned
Who's the baddest talk once and a while..it keeps it fun and interesting? This is supposed to be fun after all? I'm just grateful to be there at Indy

Our plan was to run A/SA at Indy the whole year. The A Challenge that is put on by Jim Schaechter is an awesome deal and I'm looking forward to taking a shot at it. I agree with Travis, just the chance to compete at Indy is special and a privilege. A automatic is going to be a very tough class this year. A bunch of good cars and drivers. I think it's anybody's race. Plus I want no issues in qualifying for the eliminatior. I'm hoping to find a few rounds in that this year.

As for Mark, Steve and the rest of your crew. I'll be in A. If you want to find me look there. If not good luck in AA. Your car is fast and you guys have done a great job. Don't think a weak challenge on the internet is going to scare me. I'm not going to be intimidated by any of you. We have a good car as well that been refined by Ray, Dave, and Al Carp for years. We think it's worthy of the challenge.

If the weather looks good for the Dutch I'm going to take a shot at your benchmark 9.51 run.

This is like a bad soap opera, what a bunch of crybabies . No worries here I handle myself just fine with others who need attitude adjustments. Huggs and Kisses Mark Madison
