Stock at Indy almost full!

Larry Hill · 08-10-2016, 11:53 AM

The good part of Indy now being closed, is that it closed with a grade one. Now if an opening is available a grade one or above can fill on a first come first serve bases. All this is assuming that all the former world champs wait until the the Monday the week of the race to enter, so Dan please don't forget.

C'mon Larry, Dan F. forget something---?
It happened once but I forget what that was!

Jeff Teuton · 08-10-2016, 03:07 PM

I think the forgot thing was April 62

Good luck to everyone going But I think in my opinion a car like mine is wasting time trying to get in. The new cars have taken over from the traditional stockers Its basically a new car dealership Pay To Play. Ok shots fired. NEXT

Free up that tire rubbing on the quarter panel and you're bound to pick up some.

Truly sorry about what happened to your car though. Good thing it happened where it did.

James, you don't get it, as long as I can get to Indy I plan on attending. It's about being there. You walk on this earth for a very short time, enjoy what you can. I know that I'll be holding up the bottom of qualifying, enjoying every moment and also, I'm there.

Always wanted to run Indy but best my old car could run was .80 under so didn't see the sense in going with such little chance of making the 128 field. There's always next year though and it's moving higher on the bucket list!

Wouldn't be terribly surprised if they raise the quota again...Indy is an amazing experience and they know it, besides they won't have to contend with many more than 128 anyway after Thursday (plus the few that may stick around for a potential alternate spot).

I'm with you on this James, in my case I would be a good tenth short of making the field and I never was much for doing something just to say I did it.

Agree with you James. Although, the new car count is down to 57 cars this year. Most will get in the top half. Nice to see nhra out in the open.
