Stage the Car?

[Angelo DiTocco]

You need to make a qualifying pass to race.... or at least stage your car to be put on the bottom of the sheet.... but you can get a grade point if you don't.
Example -
I few years ago I showed up to points meet on a Saturday to make the last Q session and run elims...... the starter broke when I got to the front of the staging lanes.... I wasn't able to make the run.....

..... I thought I could be put at the bottom of the sheet - but I found out that if that happens the rules say you can't run the race. They can't put you on the bottom of the sheet. They can only do that if the qualifying session gets washed out or cancelled....

Anyway - I was given a choice..... they keep the money and I get a grade point.... or..... a refund and no grade point.

So my guess is if you are paid up and tech in and don't make a run - you will still receive a grade point.
