Factory Showdown Cars and Indy 2014

[Stephen Bell]

In my humble opinion, the excitement and recognition of the factory showdown races far out way any negative issues. It's only a couple races a year.... S.Bell

Sure, why not? It's just kinda like a bunch of semi-pro ballplayers playing a couple of games a year with one arm tied behind our backs vs. the juiced-up pros.
Bruce, don't people go to jail for "rigging" the outcomes of "sporting events"?

I think it would be cool if Factory Stock was run as a qualified 16 car field as part of the main event instead of class eliminations. Call it Factory Experimental too.

Now that I would pay to see! If need be, make it 32 cars. It would be a lot easier to understand for the casual fan then what modern-day ProStock has become.

I think it's pretty simple:

If you are running with/as part of Stock Eliminator, AHFS applies. -1.219 under = Horsepower penalty. Period.

If you are in a shootout of your own, with no AHFS or other stuff, you are seperate from Stock and not part of the 128 car Indy field.

I like the factory cars and would probably have one if I could afford one. It would be a stick! I do think they should be in their own class. The new cars beat up on almost every A/SA and B/SA car that was running. Many are gone now. I suspect that will change when the new cars finally get where they belong.

By the way, it is 40 cold degrees here in Covington, La. Freezing my behind off! But we're in the garage working on the car trying to find more H.P. That much never changes. And it never will!

Good luck to all.

All great ideas!

IMO, AFHS needs to be in forced if your running stock.

It's only 7 degrees in Denver. COLD!

X1000!!! Can't get any more simple than that!
Your all in or your all out, period!

A 32 car field on sunday will help fill the stands. I know E Town needed the help on sunday this year, I was there.
Will help others want to understand what the other classes are about, stock and super stock that is.
real looking cars racing.

It really shouldn't be an issue at this time, just when will it start......
