Are the factory cars going to be protected from getting horsepower this year like last?

As stated in another thread, Indy is really the last NATIONAL event based on total performance. I think all cars should be run out the back door and see who's on top when the dust settles. I know I don't have a dog in this hunt, but we would see where all the cars fall. I know, by what I have read, there are cars out there capable of 2.00 under their respective index.

This is only my 2 cents of old fart info, but let's see what some of these cars and trucks are capable of.

Ed, It makes way to much sense, but I like the way you think.

Any body know if the factory show down cars can go as fast as they want with out the AHFS giving them horse power. There were 7 cars on the qualify sheet that went faster than 1.20 under the factory show down index. Are the factory index the same as what they would be if they were in there normal class as in weight and index the same?

The Factory Stock Showdown indexes are 10.10 and 10.40; last year they were 10.20 and 10.50.
