Leaving before Tree question

That makes sense Jeff but it should be clearly known by racers and officials if that's the case.....

If it is true than anyone who elects to make a bye run, runs the risk of being DQ'ed if they LBTA.......and I would stage and never go to WOT on a trans brake.....

It's always going to be up to the race director.....but should be clear....

It took me a minute to figure out LBTA.

Isn’t auto start activated once the bottom stage bulb comes on??

Watching D3TV and the S/C semis...

One driver broke and was pushed back
Other driver gets a broke bye.....Stages and tree seemed to take forever to go green. Driver lets go and the announcer goes silent...

Screen shows a -.368 redlight with no incrementals and no times. Does not show LBTA.....
Driver gets the win....moves to the final...vs Bogacki....

Other categories had some byes in late rounds and most just took the tree and backed out....

Years ago at the Englishtown Nationals a Super Stock racer rolled the beams on a bye run and was DQ’ed. He didn’t come back for the next Rd.

It's interesting to me that I come across this topic now. This is something I have never been clear on. Just this past weekend at the Sonoma Div race, I had the bye in the super gas semi's. Instead of taking the chance, and not having a clear understanding of the rule, I staged the car, watched the tree drop, then got on the chip and let go. I was 1.150 on the tree. I wasn't willing to take any chances. I've been doing this a long time, and feel kind of dumb for not having a clear understanding of the rule.
