Since Stock and Super Stock wasn't creating any kind of hazard and it was adding to the "Indy Excitement" the great Officials that they are realizes what us Stock and Super Stockers devote time and $$$$ to our cars,,they haven't done anything out of respect for us and our respect for them.
Chilling adds to the spectacle and drama of Stock and Super Stock Heads Up Dragracing at Indy.
Hopefully they make a very respectful decision to not enforce chillers at Indy outside our pits.

When I was there 2 years ago there was racers chilling their cars up near the staging lanes but not up in the actual staging lanes. Maybe this is the compromise. If that is the rule then it needs to be enforced that way. We chose not the chill the car I was driving because we had nothing for the car we were paired with first round. We opted to make a good competition run to be prepared for the Main event. Lost for class first round and the guy I ran was tossed for claiming the wrong engine combo later in the day after class runs were over.

I don?t know guys, they come out with a reminder just before Indy and some of you still think it would be OK to drag them up to the stageing lanes. Maybe it?s just me, but unless you are someone ?special?, I don?t think I would push it.

Keith, many S/SS racers think they're special.
