I don't suppose we're lucky enough to have someone filming class a la Mr. Schaechter? I've watched last year's on Youtube more times than I can count!

Thank to all the reporters....Its like Im there.
Kevin I don't think so ..Ask anyone 129 or more on the qualifying sheet. All the new cars have ruined Indy..BOGUS Racing...At least let them get HP Let them get the horsepower the should be getting..

Factory Stock Showdown Round 2
Big upset!!! Barton cuts a .000 light but spins the tires and loses to Joe Teuton's 9.45 in FS/AC Semifinals Patterson vs. Harrison Connolly vs. Teuton Patterson and Connolly are solidly in the 9.2s. FS/DC Butner vs. B. Skillman Allegrucci vs. Holbrook Butner, 8.83 Holbrook 8.85. If I understand the schedule correctly, they will run one more round of the Factory Stock Showdown today and the four remaining racers will return tomorrow to finish the class in prime time. The FS/AC and FS/DC finalists will race with a handicap. |

I understand your point but I'd also have to think that the No. 129 qualifier (actually 33rd guy) had the same gripe back in 1968. |

Well it has been another hot day and very busy one! We got beat in Round 2 of class by Slate Cummings. Very close til the end! 10.30-10.32.
Some interesting choices for the barn tomorrow! Scheitlin and Hagberg, who were both 1st round runner-ups! That is all that I have heard about so far. |

I remember when Chrysler had the 'pre' Nationals at Milan back in the early 70's(might have been 1970), deciding who would be class winners in advance so no records would not be hit at Indy. This stuff has being going on for years, part of the game. At least there are some new cars available to race, and a few years from now the kids will inherit these cars. Now if they would just make a few more/other rear wheel drivers that us lower class racers could build. Thanks for the reporting Kevin (and all you others too), great job.
