Post-Run Etiquette

[1299]

Only time I really wait is in a heads-up and I have had time that they wanted both of us to wight and fuel ck.
Normal run I don’t stop As I know most of the racer are not near the min at most time when it a dial in race. But that being said I have had a few that had waited and it dose not bother me one bit as it is there part of the run.

Your win light didn’t go on
So proceed to load up and go home
If it’s not a heads-up way bother
I hate when someone sits by the scale hope to get a freebie
I make sure to disappoint that person and go over the scale.

hahaha, I think I made the first turn off every time down the track XD. Yeah I was probably knee deep in a bologna sandwich by then! Good run, next time don't forget I'm slow and that you gotta block!

Back in the day at a IHRA div race after a heads up race [got beat] went over to the scales to congratulate the guy [ I was pitted next to the scales] the guy at the scale told me I was ten lb lite, not my car. Went to the tower and they told me the scale was old so I still lost after I weighted my car that was ok.

I always wait when I get beat. You never know what might happen.

I was at the old Vegas track many years ago for a points meet. After my first run I was light on the scale by 10 pounds. This was strange as this car was always 50 over at Bandimere my home track. I had no weight box or safe way to add weight. Myself and this genius pitted next to me decided to hide some weight under the seat. I went about the rest of the race and was ok on weight. 3rd. round win I got on the brakes hard. The weight slid forward and was just sitting there on the pass side floor. It was at night and in the excitement of the moment I did not see this. On the scale the tech guy opens the pass door to tell me my weight. He reaches down and picks up the loose weight and says "illegal ballast your out" and slams the door.

I am sure the other guy was glad he waited.
