HP on Monday?
 

According to Live Timing a big congratulation is in order to Number One Qualifier Kevin Anderson 10.850 run on Q2 - 1.30 under in H/SA at the first Division 2 Race

I thought he was DQ

Nope , he was a DQ Larry

The 2:10 pm time stamp on the Q2 sheet shows

Low E T 10.850 Sec. 1036 Kevin Anderson

I hope that the radiator did not leak at the scales like it sometime happens on the left coast.

What was the DQ for? Weight, mechanical, incorrect part, wheel base, safety equipment out of date?

Re: HP on Monday?
 

No Larry, the radiator did not spring a leak, no crewmembers removed weight between the turnoff and the scales, there were NO diving trunks involved, word on the street was fuel DQ ….

Kevin was in the fourth set of cars in Stock for the Q2 attempt. According to the racers I spoke with fuel check was done on Q1. Racers said Q2 was, make run, pull on scale for weight check, and no fuel check then go back to the pits. Once a racer is released from the Tech Area the run is official, I have been told.

Mike if no fuel check was preformed during Q2 how did his fuel fail? Most of the time if a car missed Q1 session and Q2 is their first time down the track a fuel check will be preformed on those few cars only. Kevin made Q1 and Q2

I have been in that same situation what happened to me and a lot of other racers is: I got sealed up, rechecked my fuel and weight and had a full teardown including wheel base. Before first round of elimination.

If rules got bent to discount the run it dilutes all the hard work we all put in to make our stuff competitive.

Very valid questions Larry…...Makes one WONDER , are there any enforceable rules any more ?? OR, are the RULES just suggestions ??

This is one of the many reasons AHFS doesn't work every time there's an opportunity for it to work people find ways around it. Not even saying anyone done anything wrong here but one would think that if someone passes first round there's a reasonable expectation they pass Q2.

Re: HP on Monday?
 

No pup in this, but they used to ask if you went faster than your first run you got rechecked. Same as record runs you first had to break the record then you had to back it up. But this was the way Wayne Lewis [RIP] explained it to me, could be different now. Tom

Somebody help a foggy brain here - wasn't there a rule update where you couldn't avoid a hit by something under your control once the pass was made? Did that only apply to bypassing the scales and not involve fuel?
