I must admit to being slightly disappointed. Whilst I can see that 39 entries is good I just felt that there was potential for so many more. Maybe the number of entries will increase in future years as more chassis & engines become available. I suppose I was just hoping for too much but I would have liked to see a second Playa Del entry, the rumored PCM entry for Dominguez & Walker manage to get enough money for an entry. I would have liked to see a few of the smaller teams such as Team Leader/Dollander & Chastain continue to enter cars & I would have like to see another Andretti/Green entry for Matos & even another KVR entry to give Vasser another try at the 500. Matos must be really regretting not taking that Conquest seat when he could as there is Perera driving around in a full season when he doesn't even get a shot at the 500. It may turn out to be a much better move in the long term but I can imagine that there is a bit of jealousy at the moment. I'm also a bit sad that drivers like Tagliani aren't on that list yet. I'm surprised that there are no Laziers or Unsers on there yet, though I can imagine that they may be added later. I'm also very surprised that Larry Foyt is in the second car rather than one of the more expected candidates for the drive.
Also, is the Sam Schmidt entry what was originally the Rubicon Racing entry under a different name or has that been cancelled without any comment & replaced with Schmidt, or was the Rubicon entry just the Schmidt entry wit a different name...or has Mad Max just switched teams?
