Having been at Indy, IMHO tech was a little on the light side and the cars that were checked were, again IMHO, pretty "safe" teardowns.
Billy,

Confused on your use of the word "safe". Can you elaborate on that?

Give one of your cars to Glenn and I'll bet it end up gong 1.50 under.

Damn Straight! All these FWD racers put skinnies on the back and thank that they are hero's racink junk!

It is possible he is trying to make it a natural B car in which case it’s possible he will be removing weight lol . Not 100% sure if that’s his plan but at one point in time we did have a combo that would work well as a higher natural class but boy did we get flamed first before people understood what was being done lol . I also question why so many were running so hard but I do think the mineshaft rule should have never been taken away . IMO

That combo is a natural B.

Glenn picked a good combo but still is the fastest of that combo that I’ve ever seen yet and definitely works hard to get every thousandth of a second out of that combo. If it gets a hit, I’m sure Glenn will pick it right back up or do whatever he thinks best.
Billy also works hard but in a different way striving to do the most with the least.
2 hard working racers achieving similar goals in very different ways.
Best of luck to both of you going forward.

Robin, there's no way that you are going to go to Indy with "bogus" stuff. Therefore,"safe".

Now don't go and trash the few Racers out there racing FWD combos! I'm the only one (to my knowledge) running "junk"!
If it's so easy, everyone would be doing it.
You should try it sometime. ;-)

Not knocking the few that race FWD but your effort pales compared to the guy's running real cars! Cry all you want! You don't have the respect of real combo racers! You can be Ken's friends all you want but the 99% don't care!

Possibly the 2009-2010 6.1 Challenger. Mitch has it now. That one car has been its own trail blazzer.
