I don't even need a Caribbean cruise.....I hate boats anyway. Hell, I'll do it for a press credential, and some room & board at the track.

Hey Dan, IHRA gave me some of the Pure Stock Challenge sticker, so i slapped them on there on Friday. Yeah i ended up mid pack, i was hoping 0.94 under would get me a little higher on the ladder but it was a pretty quick field.

I just shot you an email

94 under is the middle of the pack at Baton Rouge? ........Gee whiz.

It is impressive but remember the track elevation is 26ft and the IHRA indexes are .500 higher.

Remembering Indy Qualifying this year.
Think the cut off was 0.94 to qualify.
Some hot names did not make it.

If not mistaken three of the top 5 qualifiers were a V/SA and two U/SA cars.
Think the U/SA cars ran 12.9x ET...freaking unheard of !
One ran a 1.42 under, using NHRA Indexes.

I think Pure Stock Indexes are too high for the HP IHRA lists for our cars.
Or
Vice versa our Pure Stock HP ratings are a little high for the Class.

BUT we are doing fine attracting new Builders this year.
