Indy Question

If there is no Class at Indy how many cars will run eliminations?
With Indy always being on The bucket list and only 4 days this would be the year to go.

My guess would be 60 or less. Indy is absolutely a bucket list race but......The loss of class elim's kinda puts a damper on the stature of the race for Stock eliminator in my opinion.

Indy is still INDY....be way more than 60 cars ....for some competitors this year will be the year to go...This year the opportunity presents itself for some 4-6 tenths under cars that could finally run at the BIG GO. ,cars that wouldn’t normally have a shot at getting in..
.especially the ones that live in close proximity to INDY.....

We will not even consider going NOW that there is no Class Eliminations.

It just will not be the SAME.

It is a darn SHAME.

No desire even to fly out and watch it.

If there was no class eliminations at Indy, would any SS/AH cars show up?

Chip THELEGEND Johnson · 05-15-2020, 06:43 AM

I would think with 160 quota they would go with the normal 128 ????

Yes

Yes Chip; if they cut the qualified field lower than 128 they'd be turning away too many racer$. Indy is a cash cow for them with 160 quotas in the sportsman classes.

Indy without class is just another national event, no luster or incentive to go.

Absolutely no reason to go if they don’t have class eliminations. JMHO
