Mike, last year Indy was a 4 day race (Thursday-Sunday). The compressed schedule led to last year's format for class. This year Indy is a 5 day race (Wednesday-Sunday). With Indy starting on its traditional Wednesday, I am hoping that we will return to normal class eliminations with Stock class on Thursday and Super Stock class on Friday. All we can do is hope that NHRA does the right thing.
