Has INDY lost its luster ???

It appears that Jim Marshall has the car set up for 10.97-10.98 passes.

He had a starting line advantage in excess of .04 on the last class run.

Chris Butcher could not have gone any quicker or faster on that specific pass.

During this event, it's highly probable that Jim Marshall could have gone well below 10.97 if he chose to.

Has INDY lost its luster ???

For me not yet, it's been pretty damn cool so far, but to Mark's points it could be even better which gives me "goose bumps".

I live for this!

If they would eliminate all throttle stop cars from this race it would help to bring back some of the "Go fast or go home" identity to this race. We now have plenty of classes to fill up the all the time this race has ( Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Pro Mod, Factory Stock Showdown, Top Fuel Harley). Move the Jegs race to Columbus at the Sports Nationals.

Both Jim and Chris have two fast race cars. Both are more than capable drivers. This time Chris did what he needed to win. Congrats to Rod and Chris.

If they were to race again without the AHFS I wouldn't bet on either one. They are both that fast. BP

Marshall ran his car as a 79 model Nova. The 77 model Nova has a better hp factor
