Sad...

I'm not a class racer but have been following it for 30+ years. I don't know the other 3 gentlemen but do know, from experience, that Gary Russell is one of the nicest men you will ever meet. I personally don't know how many more Indy races he plans to attend but if this was his last one that's a pretty crappy way to end it. Sad indeed.

Yes....

That's true....

But how about the next 4?

Somebody is going home that shouldn't be.....

There should be 1 bite only, because that is what real Stock Eliminator cars get.....

Should a non-qualified Super Stocker, if it fits the Stock Class rules, be allowed to bump into Stock?

It's the same thing as an FX car bumping back into stock..

Just sayin'
Bob

PS:
That also goes for Comp Cars bumping back into Super Stock if they don't qualify

A big thank you to everyone keeping this thread going ! Anyone know anything from the teardown barn yet ?

[Chris Hill]

Word on the street for the barn is:

Ken Vaughn
J Allen Sherman
Steve Wann
Bill Dyer
Jeff Strickland

[Mike Delahanty]

Wann wins A/SA. J Allen beats Corda in B/SA.
