"Live" from Norwalk points race!

Oh, Goins ended up with a bye run that run when Darroch didn't show. I heard them page him to the tower after 1st round yesterday. Does anybody know what happened?

We plan on next race to be Topeka. We have a high school reunion to go to next weekend instead of Bowling Green.

So bye for now.

Patsy,

Talking to Brent right now. He had his car in B/SA like he did last year two or three times. He says that he has the documentation that shows the old shipping weight that was different than the automatics, now they are the same. Brent is not a man of the internet and so he did not see the change. The car no longer fits in B now and they disqualified him for having the car in the wrong class.

They said this AFTER the ladder was set and the race had already started?

YEP! In fact this was after 1st round.

DRC shows the car running in B/S not B/SA. I just checked the class guide online. Looks like the automatics can run B but the sticks cannot. Sticks are shown in D/S and can only move up to C/S.

Thanks for your input but we recognized that the automatic with the higher H.P. fits in B. What happen is that the shipping weight apparently changed to be the same as the auto thus making the manual to heavy for B.
You are correct that the car was in B/S not B/SA, but the fact is that the car was run in B last year and now it can not. The original question was why it was not brought up before eliminations were started.
