Did you really say awe shucks I'll get them next time and work harder at the house? Who is indy really for the best mechanics or the best drivers? Gene Schmaltz jr.

LOL. And to think, some people believe Stock Eliminator and Super Stock are just bracket racing classes.

I don't think you'd be too happy in either class.

And yes, I have left Indy after failing to qualify, and said "I will be back".

YES too much money not to run

Gary, It's not getting fixed. Some said "leave it alone' ,and Jeff agreed.
So that's that.

You are right Billy! I do forget a lot of things, Maybe this is just another one to add to the growing list of things I have forgotten. Oh, by the way, thanks for pointing this out, Billy! LOL

Talking about this here at my house right now, so here's how I feel. If NHRA want to only let 128 cars run, then only let 128 cars enter. With the new cars taking so many spots, being under rated (as we all know), let them all run at Indy. We qualified no problem, I just do not want NHRA to get the money from those who did not qualify, and sent home. It's only one more round and we start so early at Indy, they could fit it in. Or, put the new cars in there own class and then let us qualify, and may the fastest cars get in. Stop screwing people with new cars taking spots from cars that have been racing forever. John Shaul, and Ken Richards went to Englishtown the week after Indy and qualified in the top 10,out of 107 cars, but did not qualify for Indy. Sterling Simons was #1 after the first time trial at Charlotte and did not qualify for Indy.

I think everyone should get a participation Wally.

I am going to have to disagree withy buddy Wade. The reason Indy is special is because you can't just show up with any old stocker and race. You have to have a badass hotrod to get in. Indy is where everybody meets in the middle same day same track to see who is the baddest. They do need to make some adjustments to the new cars to level the playing field. They had over 350 stock/ super stock cars this year I think there doing alright.

Indy should NEVER be all-run. There are twenty-three other national events and forty-plus divisional races that are all run fields.
