Should Indy be an All Run Field in Stock?

What's "Indy" got to do with it? Stock is a 128-car qualified field at ALL events, even Divisional races. I don't see why Indy should be any different than any other race. And yes, I qualified at the E-Town FMDRS (that dates it right there!) with 141 cars in Stock.

Only Nitro Joe can ladder that many cars. LOL Man, everybody did an incredible job keeping things organized and smooth-running at the US Class Nationals at Byron all those years ago.

Class winner bump-ins are a separate discussion, which we'll leave to another thread.

RE: AHFS factoring... Pffff! I went to Indy a couple years ago, and those were some of the worst and slowest conditions I've ever experienced. If you can tag it at *that* race, you *deserve* some HP!

Just my $.02,
