Re: How come Indy has such a low entries
Realistically in stock you need to be a .90 under player to expect to get in the eliminator or win class. As some are saying maybe an all run eliminator would bring more cars. Its a great race and I have run there 2 different times but I don't think I would make the 1200 mile trip and not be able to contend for the eliminator win. With all of the new added classes more cars will equal to more class runoffs and less cars in the combo's. Just something to think about.

Re: How come Indy has such a low entries
I think Mike Pearson is more than correct. I just checked the archive for last years qualifiers at Indy and #128 was Matt Antrobuis' H/SA Camaro at -.882 under. Maybe it will be more like .95 under to make the field.

Re: How come Indy has such a low entries
I personally enjoy going to Indy as a vacation, for me it's 1250 miles to get there. I know I will not qualify, but I'll have the time of my life. It's not always about qualifying, it's being in the moment and participating. I could care less if I'm last on the Q sheet( which I have been), at least I can say I was there. You only walk on this earth for such a short time, might as well enjoy what ever blows your skirt up!

Re: How come Indy has such a low entries
Danny you have to attend soon, I've been attending the big Go since the 70's first with my brother hauling his 56 Chev with his Nomad trying to make the field. I remember the jail on site to keep the crazies in check.I miss the motel parking lot mechanical Fest unofficial competitions. I also remember seeing s/s guys rebuilding a motor and transmission in the pits and qualifying with the said piece. Now it's a lot more quiet, safe and clean but it's still the U.S, National.Claude
