Well Girls and Guys what is it going to take this yr to make the 128 field in stock and super stock? stock- 78 under and super stock 74!

Hmm last year was hot and I'll bet this year is hotter yet. It's hard to say I'll go with .65 in stock and .68 in super stock.

Superfan1 · 07-26-2012, 04:21 PM

Stock .66 under and Super Stock .61 under.

I wonder if the fields will be full ? if not everyone will get in . Counts are low right now with 30 day to go

The weather has been terrible here in Indiana. Hot, humid and miserable! I hope the weather changes drastically by Indy. From 7:30-9am and after 8:30pm it's been ok temp but still terrible air.

But hey it's Indy. Most tend to forget about the BS cat and mouse games and run their cars hard.

I'm in agreeance with you Bo, last year I believe everyone in SS got in, as well as almost half a dozen singles, probably the first time ever that there wasn't 128 cars take the staging beams on Sunday morning in SS. I hope it will be better than last year, and with the turnout for "Class" races this year, I'm confident of a good turnout; however not 180. My prediction for the bump would be South of .60 under.

Only 65 SS cars entered as of this morning.

I'm sitting on a week off work and a $1000.00, yeah that should get it done. May be wrong but I'll bet there's not 128 cars total in SS. Joe

Bet your right Joe. I don't think I can go for a grand. You going?

At 8:45 pm central time: 69 SS cars.

I just checked the NHRA website; last year in SS, 144 cars were listed on the sheet after the final session which was Q5. Most of the SS/AH cars don't show up on Sunday for SS eliminations which leaves openings. In Stock, 140 cars were listed on the sheet after the final session which was Q4.
