very well spoken barry thank you

I would definitely not agree with a decision to toss a driver for exceeding his safety equipment by .015.

Certainly not the same as a violation of performance rules, in my opinion.

it’s been overlooked for a while. Should have been enforced then I can see somebody running nines without the dial , but to dial nines without the equipment is pretty blatant

I am pretty sure those saftey rules did not apply to Stock Eliminator back then,I think they actually came at a later date (along with the AA class?)

The 9.99/135 was in effect long before Mission. It's a general regulation.

Yes, but weren’t Stock racers allowed to wear t-shirts, at any ET at that time?

I'm sure it was as a general saftey rule but I think Stock went strictly by it's own class rules then and was not affected by it, probably because Stockers in the nine's was rare for some time even after Bobby's run at mission.
