Just make the FS/A index 9.60 and FS/B 9.85, problem solved. Of course FS cars should be subject to AHFS like the rest of us though, that was pretty much a joke but a great marketing technique to guarantee that a boatload of new Chevrolets got to run all out, get lots of spots in the Stock Eliminator field, compete at and eventually win the 60th annual Chevrolet US nationals!

Some numbers to ponder:

-The qualified average for all the FS cars at Indy was -1.255 under.
-The average for all entered FS cars was -1.1985 under, not counting Bill Skillman or Jim Harrison.
-25 of 30 FS cars made the field.

-The average qualified NON-FS stocker was -1.004 under
-33 of the these were factory race cars averaging -1.056 under.
-58 factory race cars made up the field of 128 --> 45% of the field.
-The average for all entered NON-FS, NON FACTORY RACE CAR stockers was -.897 under, not counting Jim Tool. The bump was -.882 under.


And just for the hell of it:
-5 NON-FS cars will get immediate HP today, 3 of which are factory race cars.
-30 NON-FS cars will be subject to review, 17 of which are factory race cars.
