It won't be the class eliminations that we all know and love; but it is better than nothing!

It's probably been done in an effort to pump up the lagging S/SS entries.

Indy goes to Grade 1 tomorrow; we'll see if the entries increase significantly, or will racers keep their money until just before the deadline and then enter. With the quotas at 160 in both Stock and Super Stock; there certainly is no urgency to enter now.
