driver OK report

I agree with the above comment. Didn't an out of control CJ come uncomfortably close to taking out a low hp stocker in time trials at Indy last year? I bracket raced against Larry McClanahan's CJ at the Lucas Oil Seattle race last year. I was not very comfortable being passed in the lights 155 to 116. And I have a cage.

this might be the best excuse to give these factory cars their own eliminations

The folks that build and race these cars all know what they have. No matter the track, when you do your burnout and accept the dial, its all up to you. While driving a 105mph stocker I was passed by a car at 157 at the stripe. I laughed, looking in the mirror on and off for 4 seconds. When he went by, I swear he broke me out. Racing has its risks, lawn bowling, not so much.

Roll bar and 5 pt harness in our O/SA Wagon. The danger is ever present when you are @ 100 at finish and your competition is 160 and on the brakes!

I still the the old rule was best.

Build fifty if you want to run Super Stock, build five hundred if you want to run stock. At least this is how I remember it.

I have always thought the nine inch tires were dangerous on the Factory Stock eliminator cars but few seemed to agree.

I believe you are referring to Roy Hill and our beloved Marty Buth at Indy a few years ago....The near miss at the Joliet points meet was not a super car but a A SA with a single wheelie bar that drifted into the lane occupied by a I SA Buick....The Buick racer lifted immediately to avoid disaster, Thank the Lord.......
