They simply would have slowed them down to being just under one second under to avoid the AHFS hit,just like some old cars have been known to do.

What would have changed? They still would have qualified.

^This!!!




Being a new car owner it sucks having so much hate due to the FS cars. I wish they would work something out for them, because they are on a whole other level then the production cars that are sold. Anyone thinks off the floor cars go 1+ under when you buy them are just crazy.

As far as slowing down 442OLDS is spot on. I know of MANY old combos that have 1.00 under on tap anytime they want it. I was bitch slapped this year by one!

A wise fellow from Comp told me "Some guys want to go fast and some guys want to win! What do you want to be?"

Indy is one of the few the require both, but that's why it's the Super bowl of S/SS racing right?

I don't care what they go off the floor. If you get out run by half a second by someone with the same combo, you should not qualify for the show even if you go 1.00 under.

I saw A LOT of all out runs from old cars (very fast old cars) this weekend in the .95 under range. Not many 1.00 under cars in Indy weather.

I saw the same thing. A lot of really good older cars looked to be running all out this year, much more so than in recent years. Fighting for a solid spot in the second half of the ladder.
