Wescott ran an 8.22 at Div 2 NO race in 2010
Daniels ran an 8.28 at Reading in 2011
Hard ran an 8.26 at the Dutch in 2012
Wolkwitz ran an 8.31 at a Div 1 race in 2013
Wolkwitz ran an 8.28 at the Dutch in 2014
Wolkwitz ran an 8.21 at a Div. 1 race in 2015
Hess ran an 8.28 at a Div. 1 race in 2016
Daniels ran an 8.22 at the Gators in 2017
Wolkwitz ran an 8.30 at the Gators in 2018

All these runs are at sea level tracks in good air, not to take anything away from these guys but I doubt you will see them run these numbers at Indy even if the air is really good. If the air is good the fast comp cars will be 7 tenths + under. Wescott's, unless they come out of 'retirement' are currently not a factor. The index should be 9.00 to 9.05.
