Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

I understand that a Pro (and I use that tongue and check) was permitted to enter a sportsman car. I think that this is why his bride was attending a bunch of races.


I was not aware that a sportsman racer was allowed to enter an event and have a hired gun fly in. Wonder how many grade points that Bob Utner (This is the nickname that Jason Line gave him) had????????????????? Just about 00000000 I would think.


What do you all think about this??????????????????

Wooooo, kinda harsh don't ya think Sarge? I'm probably wrong but I thought that a World Champ could enter any Eliminator at any time. OBTW, he has run Stock before.

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

I don't thinks it a problem Fred. There was only 29 cars out of a quota
of 50 entered. Bo entered and made it 30. I thinks it great that he still
supports Sportsman classes, it provides a heightened awareness of
the class. Some people try to stir up a story when there isn't one. I know
that wasn't your intention. They were off 81 Sportsman entries for
Sonoma. If you know any other Pro's, please encourage them to enter
these types of races so S/SS doesn't lose any more quota.

Car owner with grade points can enter a car with appointed driver but they do loose a grade point.
Perfectly legal.

He is a Sportsman World Champion....

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

Why does it matter. He is a competitor and a good one. Just because. He drives in a pro category he is just another guy racing He has to beat you like anyone.

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

He’s a prior World Champ…grade points not needed.

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

Sarge, I think you are way out of line on this one for numerous reasons.

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

I remember racing Bo Butner in the Stock Eliminator final at Rt 66 in 2012.

I also remember racing "Big Daddy" Don Garlits in his Drag Pak in Stock Eliminator.

Not sure what your issue is here. Are you saying that once you race in a Pro category ,you should be ineligible for competition in a Sportsman category?

Re: Bo Butner and Stock Eliminator
 

I would much rather race Bo Butner, Don Garlits, Jason Line, and them other pros that used to run Stock, than some of those deadly bracket racers who compete in them million dollar races.
