All these runs are at sea level tracks in good air, not to take anything away from these guys but I doubt you will see them run these numbers at Indy even if the air is really good. If the air is good the fast comp cars will be 7 tenths + under. Wescott's, unless they come out of 'retirement' are currently not a factor. The index should be 9.00 to 9.05.
