What were the Ramchargers running that year, I remember only fuelers & floppers.

How interesting would it be if they just take class winners and top qualifiers to make a 64 car field for the Eliminator at Indy this year. We would see how fast the new cars can really go, it sure would be fun.

But then NHRA would miss out on 64+ entry fees and crew passes. Most of the current "crop" of racers wouldnt bother to enter.

I've raced Indy with only a 64 car field, there were 10 cars in F/S back then alone. I'm sure that they wouldn't miss out on any less entries, mater of fact, there may be more.

Ray Allen,,,,,,1957 Chevrolet Model #210 Beauville 9 Passenger Wagon,
'The Terrible Tangerine'
283/283HP,,,,,w/Fuel Injection, and a Muncie 4-speed,,,,
K/Stock,,,,,,NHRA National Record Holder,,,E.T.,,,,, 13.14

In 1969, these 1957 Fuel Injected Chevy Wagons were a 'perfect' fit
for K/S (12.50 - 12.99 wt/hp)

My guess on why his Class Winner E.T. was so slow,,,,,,his opponent probably
needed the 'holeshot of the century' to win.
He got the'holeshot',,,,,but left on the 'first light', and 'red-lighted',,,,,,HEE HEE

Casey,
I raced at Indy in Super Stock when only class winner got in. There was 21 SS/LA cars for class.

damn it would be fun to go back, but running off the records would take a few months to even out the new cars when they dropped thier records 2 seconds running heads up in class trying to get into the eliminator... YEEEHAA it would be too much fun... of course i'd be screwed too when bob shaw dropped my record 2 seconds
