Unfortunately even i'm not that optimistic. But ya never know.

Last year the quota was not met till August 15th. 1 Grade point was sufficient. Also last year I researched the prior decade of Indy in Stock Eliminator, and I believe that 180 cars had not been met for a lot of the years. Of course I am not certain if the quota was met earlier (at a higher level grade point) and there were withrdrawls that nobody took.

Well. If it were easy everyone would be doing it. Racing is hard. Anything can happen to the best driver, tuner, engine builder etc. However i'm not building a car that I don't think is capable of qualifying at all.

And to further sum up all of the above. It is significantly harder to net the results you are looking for by giving up. I have some pretty lofty goals. I know that. Hopefully I have a lot of years left to learn as a tuner, engine builder, driver, competitor, friend etc... And while I may not be known in the class racing community too well, I feel I have the experience necessary to do what I intend on doing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence however
