Does anyone think that Indy is going to fill up to a full field of 128 cars? The cut off date is only 3 weeks away. In the past, the field was getting pretty full by now with guys that had 4 grade points or more.

Casey as of now there is 25 in stock. I believe racers are tired of racing Wed and Thurs in front of 25 spectators. Saturday spectators continously ask when Stock and Super Stock are running? I reply we already did two days ago, they are not happy about it.

Re: Denver entries
 

As a spectator I quit attending National meets because the stock and superstock runs are strung over so many days, also because there is no Modified to watch but that is some other thread.

As a participant, as soon as I get my car finished I will only go to events where I can run for class and travel less than 500 miles one way.

Also have to understand that no body from division 7 is going to slip over here because everyone is staying in Sonoma for the two divisional races. Its unfourtunate.

Re: Denver entries
 

Cut off date is 8/30 correct?

Re: Denver entries
 

That's correct; at 1:00 PM Pacific Time; agree with another thread that said you could run the BG Divisional for your first grade point and get in Indy with just that.

Daran...since I've NEVER been able to run an NHRA national event, what would you suppose would happen if racers handed out S/SS association event flyers to spectators as they visit you in the "back 40" pit area? ;)

Re: Denver entries
 

I believe there may be some new cars in the staging lanes. 99% of people have to work Mon-Fri so Sat and Sunday is when you get bombarded by spectators. Funny thing is they normally walk right by the $100,000 2009 cars and will stand and stare at a $8000 P/SA, I think they believe HEY I CAN DO THAT!!!!

Re: Denver entries
 

Really ? While Im much more apt to look at a P/SA car (well not a P/SA it reminds me too much of a prostate exam and having blood drawn for a PSA) lets say a V/SA, When we are pitted with the MegaManiac, we usually have a crowd around it and I honestly feel bad for the other racers around when noone is looking at cars they have just as much sweat and blood equity in as we do. While we built the DP I can appreciate what they have done to their car, but I think many spectators, at least at the races weve been at, I dont think they can.

Hmmm....guess its all perspective

(And not to Dig the Ford Guys, but it would seem the Challenger draws a bigger crowd ?, the only thing I can think is they dont know the difference between one mustang and another....? But the Challenger, well its not like there are a whole lot of them out there, then again, it could be the wrap :)
