Re: Stock at Indy almost full!
 
Always wanted to run Indy but best my old car could run was .80 under so didn't see the sense in going with such little chance of making the 128 field. There's always next year though and it's moving higher on the bucket list!

Wouldn't be terribly surprised if they raise the quota again...Indy is an amazing experience and they know it, besides they won't have to contend with many more than 128 anyway after Thursday (plus the few that may stick around for a potential alternate spot).

It's at 183 now; hopefully the NHRA will increase the quota to 200.

My biggest regret of my years of racing was not participating at the "Big Go".

I encourage everyone to do it at least once.

Why? At grade 1 everyone had a chance to enter. Adding more entries at this point only hurt the racers as its that many more people that won't qualify.

If they raise the quota Its just a money grab,, If you cant run a second under AT INDY You are wasting time, Indy is THE MOON and they have plenty of Modern Rockets and Space ships entered. No room for and antique model rockets Good Luck to all

When it went to Grade 1 on Wednesday; there were 163 entries which left only 17 available spots. I am quite sure that there were considerably more than 17 cars that wanted to enter; but for whatever reason, were unable to be among the first 17. For the last 2 years, the quota for Stock and Super Stock was 200, why should this year be any different?

The NHRA money machine is missing out on entry fees, especially with no afhs this year.
