I know this is really far fetched but is it possible that any of these problems could be related to the indexes? At Indy "I/sa" car under the "A/sa" index, "J/sa" car under the "B/sa" index, "N/sa" car under the "D/sa" index, etc.
No dog in the fight but just a thought.

and if there were any "common sense" involved, the I and J cars would be deemed either not quite legal or in need of HP. Take your pick.
Having been at Indy, IMHO tech was a little on the light side and the cars that were checked were, again IMHO, pretty "safe" teardowns.

Yes sir may I have another horsepower or two. Just make me work harder Billy. Lol

Ok Billy so picking a combo that is factored well and then working hard on it should get it horsepower. And why did I pick a performance class.............should just be bracket racing then. So you never picked a combo that wasn't factored to death and ran well with it ?

Glenn, you picked a "combo that is factored well" knowing that if you worked hard on it you would go fast with it. You "picked a performance class" because you choose to gauge yourself against others who do the same. And being in the business you're in, I would think that would be a part of doing business. The only business I'm in at this point in my life is monkey business.
You and I both know what kind of combos I pick, generally poor combos that I can work hard on to try and get them to somewhat compare to good combos.
Now the combos that I have picked that are "well factored" combos are usually junk and that's how they are treated. But you know that.

Billy how dare you call any of those combo's soft. You have one of the softest combo's out there. How many of those dime ( Junk yard ) rockets have you even take the motor out and do as much as you can under the stock rules. Ever try to get a piston approved for your dime rockets? Give one of your cars to Glenn and I'll bet it end up gong 1.50 under.

Glenn, Billy picks combo's softer than yours he just has no clue on what to do to make it go fast. BP

Glenn picked a good combo but still is the fastest of that combo that I’ve ever seen yet and definitely works hard to get every thousandth of a second out of that combo. If it gets a hit, I’m sure Glenn will pick it right back up or do whatever he thinks best.
Billy also works hard but in a different way striving to do the most with the least.
2 hard working racers achieving similar goals in very different ways.
Best of luck to both of you going forward.

Billy,

Confused on your use of the word "safe". Can you elaborate on that?

Robin, there's no way that you are going to go to Indy with "bogus" stuff. Therefore,"safe".
