Art I'm with you!
Indy has been run the pretty much the same for 53 years and all of a sudden they want to change it! It's like baseball doesn't have 10 innings and there aren't 4 outs because someone wanted them changed. Traditions stay the same. A class winner was in the eliminator and the other racers were guests to the race. S/SS racers are getting a raw deal out of this qualified field and they just don't see it yet.

To make sure that the playing field in Stock becomes even. All of the 1+ under cars should be looked at and refactored to the where they carry 10 to 100 lbs. per .01 to .10 under that their combination runs. If you qualify and your ET doesn't match your MPH, here again there should be a penalty of 100 LBS added to the car for the next qualifing round. I don't want to hear about working on the combination either, there are racers out there that don't go to professional engine builders to BUY the latest trick of the day. There are racers that really work on their own stuff in their garages part time and with limited funding. Stock Eliminator is turning into a cheap mans pro stock! If you want a car with a modified motor, go Comp racing!
