At ORP last night there was a 2.4 second difference in Silver Crown and 1.8 seconds for the midgets. At the Hoosier 100 it was 2.6 seconds. At the Kings Royal last week it was 1.8 seconds and at the Grove tonight it is 1.8 seconds. So I still say there are field fillers in every form of racing. It's just part of it. It's a common occurance for cars to be lapped in a WoO heat race. I've never heard Steve, Sammy or Jac get out of their car crying about it like I do the Indy Car front runners crying about Milka. No one will ever convince me that she is any more dangerous in Indy Cars than some field fillers are in sprint cars. She's a little over 8 seconds off the pole pace on a 2 mile road course. That's better than I could do, and I would bet just about any amount, better than any in this thread that are complaining.
Bullcrap on the qualifying, It was a much different track for the drivers depending on which group you qualified in (Group) One day the track was best first group, day it was third group and there was a big difference depending on how tore up the track was from group to group. There was maybe three or four cars at The SW events I went to that had no legitimate shot at winning. Comparing to the Mile is also BS. someone who never been there could easily be 2.8 seconds slower when hes got twice as much distance to cover.
Big difference in the faster a NW car goes it becomes more unstable (Biking ect) To a Wang that gets sucked harder to the track the faster it goes.
How many three and four wide multi lap battles for the lead did the Kings Royal have anyway?
Eliminate the top five and bottom five and see were they stand?
P.S.
I can agree that until they have full fields, They are going to allow about any car and sponsorships that can field a car.
