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.

I got a piece of paper at Sonoma many years ago that said I lost. Looking at the RT and numbers it just didn’t add up but the other lane was “winner”, I loaded up and left for the long drive home. A few weeks later I get a call from division director to confirm where to send round money and asking why I was a no show for the next round!
Even paper is not always correct.
