I know what would happen to me if I did it but I haven't never ran Pro Stock.......

I stopped reading all the posts on this thread, so somebody might have picked up on this already, however I did notice after I spoke to him yesterday about the AA/S that he shouldn't be able to run that today A/S is now displayed on the windows. coincidence.......?

If you claim a class you're ineligible for, and make qualifying shots in that class, the precedent is a DQ. If they let him change classes, and he is the one who wrote AA/S on his tech card, he was allowed to do something others have not been allowed to.

I used to love seeing Bobby's wagon down at Assumption. 3 foot wheelies out of a mid 13 second car. Too sweet!

So now he,s in A/S Wow! Ok are they changing the ladder? Maybe a mistake in tech?

Jimmy Alund withdrew from the race. Jimmy is a straight up guy, he loves stock. He felt it was the right thing to do. There was some confusion on the class he could run. By no means did Jimmy want to circumvent the rules. Rules are rules and Jimmy was man enough to do the right think. I hope all of you will support Jimmy in the future and not hold this against him. He came along way to support the class, and for me, that says it all.

If you haven't taken the time to meet Jimmy Alund, you should. He's funny, friendly, and as much a die-hard as anyone I've run across in the U.S. It takes a LOT of effort to race a car in Europe in any class and Jimmy takes on the additional task of racing on two continents.

To be perfectly honest, we could learn a lot from the Swedes. They're serious racers but they never seem to lose sight of the fact that you're supposed to have fun doing it.

Sounds like a class act, and a stand up guy. No doubt it was an honest mistake, there's nothing to hold against him.

all you guys should be proud of yourselves now. A guy comes from Friggin Sweeden to race with you all and this is how he is treated at a race that ended up being random pairs for first round anyway.

Have none of you ever made an honest mistake? The tech guys should verify what class you run anyway with all the horsepower and factoring changes that go on now anyway. Do you think this is the only car in the country that is being raced in the wrong class?

I would think him not being a regular over here, and how far he traveled, somebody could have told him to simply change his tail lights, and grill if it was wrong, before he races here again. No need to give him any flack over it. Not like he will be any faster or slower after he changes his tail lights.
