Indy stock low qualifier
 
I hear that a certain truck from way down in Western Kentucky is set to make a return to Indy in order to grab the number 1 qualifying spot. There should be plenty of competition for that including a 5.7 Hemi Challenger from Indiana with a stick (still rated at 305hp), or a turbo Thunderbird or maybe a Mustang 2. What do you all think? 1.75 under?

I think there should be 3 brackets

(1) Under-rated #1 will be -1.32
(2) Over-rated #1 will be -.43
(3) Correctly-rated #1 will be -.89

Oh, Gary Summers must have one of those "Lightning" trucks!

Will see if uncle Paul gets his truck put back together in time for INDY. Were still waiting for a few updated parts to arrive.

Are the factory cars going to be protected from getting horsepower this year like last?

As stated in another thread, Indy is really the last NATIONAL event based on total performance. I think all cars should be run out the back door and see who's on top when the dust settles. I know I don't have a dog in this hunt, but we would see where all the cars fall. I know, by what I have read, there are cars out there capable of 2.00 under their respective index.

This is only my 2 cents of old fart info, but let's see what some of these cars and trucks are capable of.
