On the other hand I also agree with your logic of the car is not fast enough to use one and your dad's car not even being hooked up. In the end the rules should be enforced as stated. Please keep updating us on your racing endeavors and good luck!

BIGG18, I can agree with that, honestly. There was a point during the arguing in the staging lanes where I realized that there was nothing I could say or do to justify my car's entry into that class. That's when I gave up and took my medicine. I still think it's horse sh!t. Not to mention the only reason my dad went was because he was convinced by the two brothers to come follow a particular driver out, only to get disqualified from the race by the same people.

We've run our cars in the same way, with the same configuration, for the last 10 years and no one has ever batted an eye. Now all of a sudden, while neither of us are cheating, they decide to throw us out on a glorified technicality.

I very much appreciate the kind words and am looking forward to the next time I hit the track. We've had a few rain outs these past couple weeks, one for a heat index that was egregious and this coming weekend was canceled due to the forecast. So I don't know when that will be, but hopefully soon. And you can bet I'll be back here to report it at some point, win, lose, or draw.
