Terry, anyone with half a brain knew what these new cars were capable of. It would be like letting me bump the compression up on my motor to 11.5 to 1, put on a set of Dart heads, add a solid roller camshaft, a victor intake, and a dominator carb and rating my motor at 285. You are right. What a joke.

They certainly shouldn't give the automatic first round of class bye to the fastest car.
Maybe some of these bogus cars will race each other and see what type of numbers they put up because the first round of class is the final qualifying run. Bob

Almost as sad as when the FI cars came to be in the 90's.That was the beginning of the end.I still think Bob could unload a #1 if he wanted.

It's 1.25 under. So 1-7 get 3.25% next Tuesday or Wednesday, pending tear down, if any are selected.

Now the 5.7 will only be 75+ hp short at 324, the 5.9 about the same at 284, and the 352 ford about 90 or so at 295. If things stay the way they are, none of the other combos will even get hit (besides Blossom's PT Cruiser). This will keep happening once a year, at Indy, so we still have 6-7 years left of this, maybe longer if the guys get smart about it. I think I'm going to get a chance to see the results of the first two E/SA cars in the 9's tomorrow...

I think this is even worse as they ran these times in the heat of the day ! I see Kens 428 wont make the cut. Its a shame as that is a neat car.
