Factory Showdown at INDY

My 2 cents. For a competitive class, the base must be the v8 natural cars which can get to about 3250 lbs, but what you have is 427 Fords and Chev, and 392 biggest Mopar and I don't think any can get to 3000 lbs. There have been no concessions on the v8 cars to date. Forget that the 392 is 10.5 and the 427's are 12.5 and 14.5 respecively. The 512 Mopar and the blown Fords and Chevys at a 200 lb advantage to the Mopar might work, except the Fords and Chevys both have a 3 speed trans and the Mopar has a 2 speed. The reasoning is that the Mopar never made any. Funny thing, the 50 or so Chevys all got 2 speeds, but some paperwork says they offer a 3 speed. Not to mention the 9.70 index. This is still part of Stock Eliminator so if it takes .65 under to get in, those cars got to run 9.05 to get in. So it obviously isn't for the folks that want to run for the Big Show. I guess that was about .50 cents worth, so Bo you started this so you owe me the .48 cents.
