Dummy?....well I must be stoopid, I paid $710 for two cars, and I can't wait! Indy's on my bucket list and this is the year....now or never. I've gone twice to watch (Wed-Friday) as business prevented a long absence....but thanks to Hope & Change my business has changed....no reason to sit here and look out the window...might as well go racin'

I really can't wait...excited already, but then again I guess we're all "dummies" in a sense with $100K race cars racing for chump change....I do it for the memories....at least that is what I tell myself

See 'ya at Indy

Randall, as always you are correct. I must be moor stoopid, as I am about to pay $1065 just to enter, add beer, and we are over $2500. That's no so bad.

Hummmm, touched a nerve did I......LOL. I guess the economy and fuel prices are not as bad as everyone says and your 401 K's that are now 201K's are hanging in there. Glad eveyone can justify and afford a week plus at Indy. Good luck to all. Did I metion it is the most important race of the year or did you miss that part and just zoned in on the "Dummy" Part !!!!!!! I know WHY everyone does it but not everyone is as well off as say Jeff and his fleet of DP's. Enjoy it while you can.

Maybe some of us dont put a "value" on a great week of racing with friends and other racers from all over the country that we do not get to see often. Or maybe we are just all "dummies". However you want to look at it, we will be there having a great time while you are at home making sure everything and everyone is talked about on classracer.

Certainly any of us that can even consider going to a race period are fortunate in this economy, but you don't have to have a $100,000 car and a $300,000 tow rig to win!
We lived in a Pop Up camper that we got for $500 and a 25 year old 22 ft enclosed trailer the year we won. The car was a very good car that ran well for sure, but not one out of reach.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the races and having a good time. I also know that whatever class we are entered in, we will do anything and everything to prepare our car to kick butt. If it doesn't work out, well, we are going down swinging! Then afterwards, we will find the racer that we raced and go have a beer together!

I think it will fill up in stock or very close to it. It has seemed like many have waited to the deadline the last few years. I think that will be the case again.

I also will stick my neck out and say that the bump will be .798 in stock. I believe the top 50 will be farther under than last year, but the last 28 qualiiers will be within .05 of last year. ( barring any weather anomolies)

One thing I hope will be very exciting is the fact that some of the new hotdog cars will actually have to run each other. This is where ( finally the Bullsh**) stops. I mean, if you don't leg it out at Indy heads up, what else would you possibly be saving it for?

And if you are in A/Stick or A/SA the Challenge is getting interesting! We have more stuff for the winners than any other class at Indy this year bar none! Keep your eyes on the sticky post on the challenge for updates as the Schwag keeps rolling in from the many that STILL support Heads up Class Racing! Thanks to All!!!

Just my humble opinion! WFO!!! LOL.
