Indy was boring - no tech/ no ahfs

Herbie, Not personnel. That's just one of the many combos that are like that. I get protecting it, who wants power. Shoot, can't even brag about being fast when its a slam dunk? There's may combos that need some help, one way or another.

Take Armstrong or Fogle back when. Both combos were beat w/ hp and they still came to the top. Those cars were/are fast.

FOR S/S - I think the solution is to place all the fuel injected cars in the same class where there is parity to a point - more so than carb vs FI cars like they did back when. Parity being at least within a tenth

I stand corrected. Just heard that Boucher, Campolito, Fisher and Jim Hale in the barn for stock. Looks like they are pulling heads if car lost 1st rd. Checking cam and carb/t-body if you won.

SS: Belanger w Jacksons Car, Worner The World Champ and Wagner.

If they would ever switch carb and EFI cars in different classes, most of us would go back to carbs. I would have no problem with that.

Campolito vs Fisher heads up next rd. Both in tear down. Boring

Yup, been glued to my laptop the last 2 days, because it is boring.

Been on the fence and in the stands watching, because it's still Indy and it happens once every year.

Mike, if you would reset the horsepower on the 315 combo it would be beat to **** again in two years like it was 15 years ago in about 2 years. I was at the Gatornationals when 3 racers with Cavaliers beat that combo into submission.
Don’t blame the racers for finding a “starting” combo and protecting it according to the rules!
There are plenty of combos out there that are better than the L98. 305 and 360 drag park come to mind.

Byron, the same people complaining have been running the same ETs for the last 30 years, with all the aftermarket parts now you would think they would run better. No reason a 350/318 combo shouldn’t run like Wagner’s or Gaffeny’s ��*♂️
