Re: Eliminations Question
Marty, IMO.. I don’t see any way that driver A can advance ...I believe driver B should have been called back and allowed to weigh. .....

Re: Eliminations Question
Driver "B" should have been reinstated. Isn't that why winning cars are scaled after a win? I had a similar situation happen to me years ago. I lost the round but was reinstated because my opponent drove past the scales.

Re: Eliminations Question
Driver A brought a car that wasn't legal to the race. Driver B didn't cross a lane boundary. Driver B should be reinstated, regardless how he lost the race.

Re: Eliminations Question
I don't mean any disrespect but how can you be 45 Lbs. light during eliminations. If your weight was Ok last round and now you're 45 Lbs. light and not know it?

Re: Eliminations Question
Driver B was at the scales and asked to weigh immediately after driver A failed to make weight.

First or worst. As long as the red lighting car waited at the scales to verify that the other car was legal, I would expect that the red lighting car is reinstated., it the red lighting car went back to the pits, it leaves a little uncertainty from my view.

Re: Eliminations Question
I can tell you from past experience they don't always do that. I redlighted during a Saturday night round at the Gators many years ago.
Opponent drove by scales and fuel check. I pulled up and waited by the scales for 1 hour, thats right1 hour while they completed the rest of the rounds that night. A div 1 tech official went and found the guy on his way out of the track, a Div 1 racer. Not sure if that influenced it or not. He then brought the car to the scales and weighed,fuel check had long closed. After they went in the trailer and discussed it Jim Skelley said Steve Gibbs told him to forget it. Same situation for Greg Rowe except David Simmons told him he wouldn't come weigh because he could not win a heads up run the next round. Greg went on to win the race the next day and I always ask him since then if we are having buy backs at the race. Not the only time had bad decisions made I didn't agree with. But it is their ballpark and their rules like them or not. I just assumed they didn't like rednecks lol. |

Re: Eliminations Question
So is the precedent: a red light is worse than being light at the scales?
