INDY quota is 200 for S/SS

Un effing believeable!
Over 50 people per class spend the $360.00 entry fee, and over $100.00 per crew member to go there without a chance in Hell of winning class or qualifying?????
They could drive there in a 30 MPG car instead of 10 MPG towing and be treated like royalty in the Top Eliminator club for less money!

I'm getting older and life is passing by, I could care less how much the entry fee is and I'm as cheap as they come. Being a participant and being apart of the race just can't be replaced by just watching from the side lines. It's about living and enjoying life while you can. No one has an expiration date marked on the bottom of their foot.

Please explain how this differs from "the good old days" when there were routinely more than 200 Super Stock and Stock entries at Indy and to my knowledge, the field size has always maxed out at 128 (not to mention the late '60s when it was a 32 car field).

Supply and demand. The initial quota was 160. It filled up incredibly fast so 20 more spots were added. Those spots went in about 48 hours so 20 more have been added. With more than 3 weeks before the start of the event, I think everyone is blown away that there is this much interest in class racing. I'm grateful that I booked my travel for a Tuesday arrival. I'm not missing this.

This is going to be my first indy experience, and I am glad they expanded the quota. More cars make for better racing. I am very excited that my first trip to indy will be the biggest event in many years.

100% agree. I love to see how many stock and super stock cars are going and wish I was one of them. I'll have to wait until next year for my first Indy (as a driver), hope it's just as big then.

Good luck Cooter, and have fun!

What Casey and Kevin said!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been as a racer and in the Top Elimantor Club. In the West side pits for me.

Wednesday August 27 can't get here fast enough! The Super Stock and Stock show is always extra special at Indy, but this will be even better.
