a $35000 motor may not be enough to win class at Indy..

Stay below 1.15 and I think you'll be alright there Rock

Shouldn't the fastest car win class? Barring an agreement to race to 1000 ft. how else are you going to be the fastest and still not run the 1.15 under or more? Of course this doesn't apply to all classes. Seems like alot of confusion on exactly how the AHFS works, I've seen explanations in print but I think you have to be a Lawyer to understand it. For me at least maybe a laymens explanation. Almost looks like the Comp deal where you may have to sacrifice some to get the win, question is who wants it the most? Joe

If you can run 1.3 or 1.4 under at Indy in the usual conditions they get there. You can handle some HP... or index.
