However if only 1 car in class, than i think it’s up for debate if he should get in,
unless they made a rule saying that car has to run at least 8 under their index.

Getting compicated....

Exactly how it should be and the only question is how many cars make up the field.

And all class winners do a std teardown.....pull a head....

From a guy who was there in 1966 and did make it to the final of class and did pull a head......and got thrown out along with the class winner....

It was the most prestigious event there was.....PERIOD...

Befor they did away with class winners being put into the eliminator it was required to run 5 under to get in

I counted 35 class winners and 9 classes with 1 car in its class.
So if those 9 were in the combo class to get 1 winner you only have
36 class winners out of 128 spots.
That leaves 92 spots for fastest qualifiers.
So yeah i would have to agree, let all class winners in !!

The entry list doesn't tell the whole story several are listed inthe wrong class and more than a few will move up or down class to avoid racing the combo or avoid another competitor

The bye runs for a class trophy was a joke and should have been done away with and was.

How many people have a pile of class winner Wally's and never raced anyone....nothing but bye runs......and seeded into eliminations...

If the class is that odd or unpopular it should not even be a class.....to many classes anyway...…

Unless they are cheating some what !

Exactly. I think the combo makes sense
You have to earn the Class Wally not just show up
What’s funny these are the same people that “Don’t Want The 120 under Trigger”

Unless you run some bogus under factored combo.
I wonder what #1 qualifier will be.......Definitely something NoT A Race Car

Last year's number 1 was a race car (truck)
Maybe you better define "race car" for the sake of this discussion
