Now we further insulted the problem by not having the AHFS in play at Indy, thus it doesn't ever get the playing field leveled so every year the same guy's get in the field. Look at the # under it takes to get in the field, it doesn't change much from year to year because factoring doesn't take place.Class winners should be in the eliminator. Off my soap box for now.

Disagree. The class winners were set in the field and the rest were made up from the lowest qualifiers to make 128 entries. So the " money " guys still got in because they ran way under their index. The problem ? Too many singles for class wins and not many spots available. I say class winners in, and with the combo stick / auto deal there would be no single runs for class. Lots of spots left for the quick guys. Makes sense to me.
