Re: So, Indy 2020...
Yes, and should be called Factory Experimental, not Factory Stock.

I feel like the Non-Showdown combos should be a part of Stock, but 100% need to be based off only the true showroom versions of the car.. that fact that you pretty much cant pick up a 2008 showroom vehicle and modify it for Stock Elim is just ridiculous.. What are there like 5 total actual showroom combos in the book newer than 2008? |

You'd she more realistic performance and more interest in running the newer cars because you wouldn't need $125k to get one. Force the current combos to SS only if they weren't offered as a street version and do whatever you want with the "Showdown" stuff as long as it isn't affecting Stock Eliminator. |

Re: So, Indy 2020...
Not sure when Indy changed compared to the combo classes started. At one time there were many bye runs for a class wins and that was the tough pill to swallow at times for many.

Re: So, Indy 2020...
Ya know, I know that I said in my previous post that the FS cars should "at least be in SS" but the issue that I see with that is that IMHO, the biggest lure of the Showdown is the requirement for the 9" tires. THAT is the equalizer and I agree with it. I can't see putting the FS cars into SS without giving them a big tire and chassis mods allowed the FS/SS cars. I also can't see them being put into SS using the current Stock rules. There's already too many classes in SS. It's already looking like Comp, everyone has their own class. And I sure can't see NHRA creating another Eliminator for the FS cars that don't run/can't run in the Showdown.
