Remind me Jeff, is it all run or qualifying? Must you have Lucas Points to enter?

Grade points are required, the challenge is run in conjuction with SS/AH class elininations.

If Jr. and Sr. don't correct the breakage problems that they have had at Indy the last few years, the check may be written out to Jim Daniels or David Barton.

OK, here is my opinion of the shootout.
While I marvel at the technology and expertise it takes to assemble and run these cars I have lost interest as to who is the fastest and quickest.
I would much rather be watching them chase down other cars in the regular eliminator.
To each his own I guess.

I heard Barton's were going to stick,they may have tested by now have'nt heard anything about that yet.
I say Wescott's will figure how to stop breaking,they figured how to make stick work.

Myself, I really like watching close heads up racing. Love those Hemis.

Jeff Teuton · 05-17-2011, 09:41 PM

Even Ed and I agree. It's quite a show.

Doesn't get much cooler than a Hemi unless it's a Hemi with a Stick.. I really like the "grassroots" part of this quote.
