Break car & allowed replacement @ Columbus??

The S/C car you are talking about broke the 1st car on friday then took the 2nd car thru tech on Saturday morning before his time trial I beleive. I was parked by tech and was wondering why he was going thru again on Saturday so I asked him and he explained that he had broken the other car. I don't know the rules but I'm pretty sure he explained to the tech official exactly what happened.

Wow i never knew you can enter a different car. Not like I really care, he was at a HUGE disadvantage anyway, so I am glad he was still able to race, and if he won MORE POWER TO HIM

A couple of years ago Sherman Addock broke his car at Silver Dollar. Borrowed David Watson's Chevy11 which was not entered, Won the race & won the SG Championship

At Reynolds several years ago, I entered my Thunderbird in Super gas. It was the first time out after having wrecked the car and a new chassis installed. After fighting chassis setup and not getting down the track comfortably, I asked Bill Holt if I could withdraw my Thunderbird and enter my Ranger. He asked me if it had been teched in for this race, which I told him no. He told me I could withdraw the Thunderbird and enter the Ranger. So I was able to race with the Ranger without having made any time runs. Went four rounds on Sunday, so of course I started telling people time runs were overrated. LOL. I was told later that they had picked the Thunderbird for best engineering, but since I had withdrawn the car they gave the award to someone else.

In 2003 i went to gainesville and somehow broke a piston ring on the first pass.a friend offered me his car but it had been entered already and then parked bill holt said no! It started raining and didnt look like it would stop anytime soon so,we tore the engine apart pulled the piston fixed the ring and had it back together about 11 pm about the same time it quit raining and was in the lanes the next morning so i believe if the car wasnt entered in the event you could use it

Sounds like it was a division call....no fault of Dewman. If they say he is in, he's in. I wouldn't question the call either if I was in that situation. Not sure it helps bring any clarity to the rules though, but what else is new with this stuff.....

Well that tells the story then.... that is cool that Jay did that.

In my situation it was later on Saturday, so i was S.O.L.
