NHRA should realize that they are giving up $5000 in revenue and that's just for Stock, never mind SS for no real reason. There is plenty of parking in the past and I don't thing that they sold any property of the facility.

Casey you do realize that you have to go REALLY FAST to even get into the field
Only 128 get in which means not you bro ...LOL
You need a playa to get into the BIG SHOW

Anybody wanna take a guess at how many FS cars will qualify?

Pistol Pete · 07-23-2019, 08:43 AM

Usually takes about 85-88 under to get in.

Last year 171 Stocker tried to qualify at Indy. There were around 33 Factory Stockers making first round of eliminations. That includes one FS car that got in as a alternate. There were 3 alternates that got to race, and the last one was .887 under.

I'm planning on going as long as I can get in and out of my car, you only go once around in life, I'm trying to make the best of it. Doesn't matter to me if I get into the field or not, I'm there having fun. Really fast race car isn't in my vocabulary as long as they give HP back to combo's that are too soft.

Amazing 😳 Almost half full in stock

Casey, I applaud your efforts for going to Indy. You are going there to have fun win, lose or draw. Sounds like a great Bucket List adventure. Good luck.

Can someone remind me why there is no AHFS at the biggest event of the year where it would be most warranted and actually do the job it is in place to do?
