Kenny got a gift...he was very late and Kathary took the stripe by over a half-second and broke out.
[NOTE: Kenny passed by the scales without stopping and was DQ'ed. Kathary is reinstated.]

So they do random weight checks during eliminations even if it was not a heads-up pairing?

Yes. Sometimes weigh,sometimes weigh AND fuel.Sometimes Heads Up Only,Sometimes NO weigh or fuel.

I highly doubt anybody would be too light on weight,but there is now a rule where you can be "too heavy".

The classes are (for example) 8.00-8.49, 8.50-8.99, etc., not "8.00 and up", "8.50 and up", etc., hence both min & max weights.

I`ve never been waved off in the first couple of rounds,only the mid to late rounds on Sunday. Always look for the win light in your lane in elims no matter what!!! Mistake by the faster car driver.
