I guess somebody has to be declared the winner and Pancake was tossed. So I guess Daniels was the last man standing.Congratulations.

Not correct.
The car didn't stage or go over the scales. There is no winner. Happened to me and Fadely once for class. I got disqualified and he didn't go over the scales. Neither got the win. Tech guys messed up, I guess. FJ |

Sounds like P&G...
Ben Holt posted on moparts: I know what happened, but I'm not at liberty to talk about it yet. I don't know if there will be an appeal or not, or if it's even an option. It was a very small, simple infraction, possibly from warm engine and cold checking equipment, but it was an infraction based on the measurements. Really a shame considering the work we put in over the weekend and the driving Jim was doing. O well.....we will be at the Dutch, hopefully in the barn again!!! |

This is what we've been told occurs, you cannot win above your last pass. Tough deal for both.

Rulebook is kind of clear. Page 2.2 under staging,,,"To be a legitimate race winner, a contestants vehicle must self-start and self-stage.". Sounds like you at least have to stage.
