With 200 in both stock and super stock what will the bump be

Mike Carr · 08-12-2014, 01:00 PM

Last year, Stock was, I believe, -.789, before DQ's in teardown and broken cars. This was with 170-175 cars showing up. Many big names were DNQ.

S/S, 140-some showed up, everyone got to race first round and there were still bye runs (all but three or so SS/AH cars left after the shootout). This year there should be some who still won't get to race.

-78 in SS and -89 Stock
So if you entered the big dance with a -50 or -60 player, enjoy your 3 or 4 runs (if you get lucky enough in rd 1 of class) and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Last year, there were:
- 171 Stockers and the bump was -0.773. If you assume that all of the additional 29 cars are all fast enough to make the show, then that puts the bump right at about where #100 was last year (-0.834).
- 146 Super Stockers and the bump was -0.590. Again, assuming the additional 54 cars are all fast enough to make the show, that puts the bump spot at about where #74 was last year (-0.786).

So, I'm thinking it'll take about -0.85 in Stock and -0.80 in SS, unless of course we get a wave of mineshaft air on Thursday or Friday morning!

Looking at the list of entries and knowing Thursday morning can be quick for Indy. I wouldn't be surprised to see it close to 1 under. Take a look at the cars entered. How many can you point out that on kill won't be able to go close to a second under Thursday morning? Barry

What day does the "field" open for parking, Sunday or Monday morning?

Jack McCarthy · 08-18-2014, 02:45 PM

most of you know the history... Wally designed each eliminator and qualifying process so that EVERY CLASS was represented in the eliminator...
the dirt was not even tamped down on his grave before the BIG BUCK guys whined thier way into the 128 fastest (cause they got more money thats thier advantage)...

now we get to see the fruits of thier rule change...
128 copo's / cobra jets and drag paks...and all the other guys are getting screwed... oh wait NHRA is allowing 20 more donaters to come and not qualify.

of course there will be a few oddballs get in, a defactored ford or two, a turbo or two, an occasional pickup and an old beat up 60 wagon > but for the most part the millionaires got what they wanted.

see ya at indy...
oh by the way Roy Dean will be piloting the landbarge.

I can't imagine someone with a -50 or -60 car even entering. Lots of money to get your feelings hurt.

You may be right Ed, I should probably go ahead and withdraw.
