This subject seems to come up every year about this time. Combining the sticks and autos would create a paper reduction of 50%. But, in reality (race day) it would be far less. There are currently entries in 10 stick classes at Indy or 22% of combined stick and auto classes (A-W). But, 9 of the 10 entries are in the 1/2 pound classes. That same percentage could be achieved by eliminating the 1/2 pound breaks(except for AA/S) in favor of 1 pound breaks (8-24 pounds). And, not have all the problems associated with trying to combine the Sticks and Autos.
