I got a chance to race in the biggest race of the year. I don't give a ---- about monkey pox, or strategic oil deposits!

It's close enough now that I guess I better revise my earlier prediction. The weather looks like it will be much better than I expected,resulting in far fewer withdrawals.
I don't know what the exact bump will be,but I would expect a second under in the morning air is what it will take to make it without having to worry about it.

With Thursday morning weather on pace to be the best air we have seen in many years at this place, I will say. -.900 will not be in the top 128 Stockers on Thursday night after the dust clears. If you look a nitro joe stats 100-110 plus stockers have been around -1.00 this season. At this time that leaves 50 plus cars fighting for around 18 spots.

I agree with you Charley. I think we are going to settle around similar to 2019....when we also had a cool morning for first round of class.

In 2019, there were 93 cars 1.00 second under, with a similar number of entrants as current projections. The bump in 2019 was 0.867 under. You would have to think people have improved their cars in 3 years, with additional good morning air projected currently. I think that moves the bump .04-.05 better than 2019.

I am putting the bump at 0.913 under.
