Your win light didn’t go on
So proceed to load up and go home If it’s not a heads-up way bother I hate when someone sits by the scale hope to get a freebie I make sure to disappoint that person and go over the scale.

You can wait, you can drive by and get lunch, you can try your luck at the buy back window. You can do anything that a spectator can do. OR, you can go back and listen to some music, like Loser, by Beck.

After what happen at the texas motorplex at the nats a couple of years back,I don't even trust the win lights to come on wether I think I lost or won.I ran 1st rd and didn't get a win light. Since they decided to not give time slips the only way you knewif you had won was by the light. Well the light in left lane as not working and they had run several of us that ran early and unless you had one of them phone with track hookup you got the shaft. They wouldn't think about having a rerun for us.I'll never drive past scales again in eliminations unless I get a piece of paper saying I lost.

Even paper is not always correct.

First of all let’s be real
You get fuel check 1 time in time runs and maybe 1st rd After that there is no fuel check unless it’s a heads up So in this day in age of stock go to your pit with your losing ticket like the winner is Wait until we go paperless and you have now clue who won. Free Lance Line

I know at Maplegrove you pick up your winning ticket on the scales and if you know you lost you can pick up ticket next to the scale. When there is a good race and you don't know who won I think it would be safer to just go over the scales. It only takes a minute and you don't feel like your stalking your opponent. In this case I asked at the scales and they don't mind "losing" competitors from going over the scales. Ray

If I am going to win or lose it will be on the racing surface, not at the scales, ok maybe on a heads-up run; I will delay the lunch time I may just to make sure my weight is correct, lol

Don, maybe we should all just start running pump gas in all but heads-up runs. Maybe pull a couple of hundred pounds out too! You know, more fuel efficient, less wear-and-tear on parts and tires! Maybe we can get together at the end of the day and sing kumbaya and polish up our participant trophys!

Billy, you are right, the rule states you must go thru scales if you win and fuel check if they have it . Now I know rules don't apply any more, the sheriff has left town and it's the wild west again.
