For me, 33 is a must. That's my standard for continuing to order my seats. I don't particularly agree with shrinking the field in order create an artificial bump day, either. With economic times the way they are, especially in openwheel racing, sending anyone home is a sin. They depend on that Indy money to stay above water. I would rather not see bumping at all if it means one of the better financed teams pulling out a back up car and knocking one of the smaller/poorer teams out of the show. Until they can get this sport's ship righted, they need to be very careful how they treat their lower budget competitors.

Less than 33 at Indy would be the symbolic "nail in the coffin" for Indy car racing.
