Bump Spot for Stock and Super Stock Without AHFS At Indy

Doing some homework it turns out that the number 136th qualified car got in the show.
He was .810 under.
Barry Parker must’ve broke something cause he was number 132, and he’s not listed for first rd results. Tough break Barry.

I pretty sure all alternates got a chance. James Tolston # 146 got paired up.

That is a shame that NHRA could not even get the correct alternates chosen for the biggest race of the year.
A simple solution is for the drivers who qualified 129 and down to write their qualifying # on windshield with shoe polish and then have NHRA line them up in number order in a designated area. Then as an alternate is needed, they pull the driver out in the correct order.

Or better yet, you need to tell NHRA by 30 min prior to the scheduled start time of the first round if you are making the call. If you aren't going to make it, NHRA can go ahead and start getting alternates ready.

If NHRA does not have race control folks who can manage this, they need to find someone who can.

Thank you Brent, (The 85 Charger is a bit lighter than The 84 Daytona, carbed vs EFI 96 vs 99, same 6HP factor), and he ran against you at least higher than dead on the minimum at 2,270. 84HP/140 no added factor.

A valiant effort there brother! (pushing that extra 450 lbs, to just less than 17 hun. slower), and both qualifying in top 13 in that all out fast, fast company!

I don't even know yet (I will in exactly 7 days-Next Friday afternoon in Vegas), but you give me hope, though I will need to carry 55 lbs. plus more than even you do. (I just knew there was a large differential between ours and Ron's Tempo). Kudo's to both of you for making slow 80's sleds fly!

James did nothging wrong, he did exactly what most racers would've done. He got pointed at and was told to load up. Now it was the mistake of the pairing personel not being prepared, they didn't have a qualifying sheet, just ladder sheets. I and a whole lot of other racers where standing next tp the nhra people. They didn't seem to have a clue without the proper tools in hand. In other words, it was a cluster f...!
