No Bump at Indy - Page 2

Casey Miles · 08-09-2013, 11:13 AM

I'm planning on entering Indy, but there are 2 things I'm waiting for. The car is ready now, but it can't run better then 5 under. So, I waiting to see how many entries there are to see how deep the bump will go. 140 car count is about the break point that I think I can get into the eliminator . You have to figure that a few don't show, then there is breakage which usually takes out a few. I don't mind being an alternate. As long as it's a shoe polish race, I'm good. The second is the weather. I don't want to tow 1200 miles to get rained on, down here (South Florida) we've had our share of rain for the season.
NHRA made it easy to see just where you are as far as car counts these days, back in the day, you would send in your entry and receive your acceptance by mail. When you got to Indy, that is when you found out how many cars where in your class.

Still 2 weeks to go.It still will be tough for some of the older Stockers to get in.But it is Indy and a great race to witness.There will be a bump in Stock ,but SS with all the early leavers most cars that stay get to run.
