Wrong Dick. Class winners USE to be important.

Now the variety of makes and models will fade away. Racers who cannot run fast, STAY HOME. Even if you have been a consistant class winner over the years, you are not wanted at Indy anymore. Guess the big buck racers got tired of being embarrassed during eliminations by a lowly racer who proudly did his own engine/chassis, pulled with an small trailer, and won class.

Its over and done.

Jason -- Winning the class Wally at Indy is important -- always was and always will be ! ! That being said why should anyone get a "Free Pass" into the eliminator ?
Also -- you're wrong about the variety of makes and models -- this year with the combination of F.I. and carbs we'll see old and new more than ever - no 1 brand or type has a stranglehold on any class . Its Indy -- bring you're best stuff.............

Jack, If you mean by "free pass" a car which wins class on a BYE run. Agreed but maybe set a quota or 3 or 4 cars for the class winner but He or she deserves to be in eliminator. Only reason the fastest 128 would help is IF AHFS would be able to use the runs on one meet an correct Hp quicker.
Ed, Good point....
