Eric merryfield went 1.26 under at Bristol and it was about 4 tenths slow there that would be 1.96 under the old index.

Remember stock runs at 7:30 in the morning. The air was about 1600' I think the air was better than 3000' that early in the morning. It is probably going to take a Tuesday hit in stock,
Superstock runs later It might be a Tuesday hit but I'll predict 1.15 for the pole.

I will go with -1.12 on this one. -1.30+ would be possible by a few, but to take HP would not be wise to do. As far as I have ever known, it doesn't pay to be #1 qualifier, not in money or short lived ego boosting. The DA will be no less than 2800' I would predict. If you can run -1.30 in 3000' DA, then you you probably have a soft HP rating to begin with. Just an observation.
