Luckily, a dragstrip is a democracy so you should have no problem overturning this ruling.

Actually, I WAS being a "smarty pants". LOL!

I understand why a racer would be upset with a rules change at mid-season. I also know of, (and race at), many tracks at which this particular deal is a non-issue. My post was only to clarify the original (poorly-worded) complaint and point out that, since many tracks DO toss people for clocking an E.T. under the "bottom break", (NOT just DIALING under it), one should be thankful to get away with it this long.

I'm not sure I have been getting away with anything, That implies I have been doing something wrong or breaking a rule.

I just sent an email to the track to ask them the about this scenario. I asked if both cars run under the 12.00 ET, are both DQ'ed, (providing they have been warned previously. I'll post the response once I get one.

OK here is the response to my email asking about running quicker than the 12.00 Sportsman Class ET Break.

no, not true. The executive never agreed to the rule change and it has been rescinded by the Tech inspector.

This was already mentioned earlier in this thread. I would imagine they will look at this in the off season but Phil made his case and the track listened. Good of them to get back to you so quickly.
