Eliminations Question
Driver A and driver B are involved in a non heads up round of competition. Driver B is the slower dialed car and red lights. Driver A rightfully gets the winning ET slip. However driver A is found to be 45 pounds light at the scales. Driver B is then asked to scale and found to be legal weight. Which driver should move on to the next round?

Re: Eliminations Question
I believe both are DQ'd. Next round is a competition bye for whoever is on the ladder. I wonder what happens if that was the final round.

Re: Eliminations Question
Driver B red is less of a infraction. Same as if driver A cross center or hit the wall

Re: Eliminations Question
This happened to my dad several years ago. He was asked to come to the scales, fuel checked then reinstated.

Re: Eliminations Question
I think it used to be call first or worst infraction is out.
In that case Marty presented both would be out. I have had it happen to me in Modified at an IHRA race. Have no idea how it is interpreted these days.

Quote:
1. Driver B was red first, but the car being light is worse. The “first” rule only applies to equal infractions, and being light is definitely worse. Driver B advances. 2. Driver A may have scaled light after the run, but he staged a car that was not legal so he was “first” anyway. Driver B advances.
