What's a better system? I suppose that is for each individual to decide. I'm sure some like it and some don't. Personally, I'm looking forward to the battles to see who the quickest 128 are.

I've also got great admiration for anyone who is going to Indy and knows they have very little chance of qualifying. THAT is why Indy still matters.

The way I see it, is that if you ran 1.10 under and lost in class you still had a shot at the eliminator......

.75 under still would have made the eliminator in some years.....

You had 2 shots at making the field for the eliminator and it didn't work out for you..

In 2004, the last year that we raced at INDY the bump in Stock was .986 under. F/S had a couple of cars in class and the slower car won class, should he have been not allowed to race????????

As usual NHRA does what they believe is best for NHRA and not what's best for the racers.

This is the reason for .75 under and no place to race.....

PS:
This is one race a year.
They could have kept it special.
