Stock at Indy down to 197

They do try to record when you were last torn down. We could count on tearing down at least once a year with each car. Indy usually if I won class. Sometimes Gators and Indy.

One year I was asked to take the trans out and open it up.
I thought Travis was kidding, it was no joke. Pull that Stocker 5sp apart.
Never heard of anyone else having to do that before.

I was torn down a few years ago as #2 qualifier less than a month after being torn down for setting the record - motor was still sealed from the last teardown. The reason given to me for being picked was based on being #2 qualifier.

Thanks!! That is what I was looking for. I wasn't sure that happened to the upper qualifiers. (Again, didn't know any better!)

Same happened to me in 2010...Set the record at an open In January.
#1 at April Vegas meet..Picked for teardown ..I pointed out the record deal to Bruce.
The Dan Man says tear him down anyway.
I guess I should have taken it as a compliment..They knew I'd pass.
Everybody comes out looking good.
