Out of boundary line? That's a dagger after a hell of a driving job to get the WIN, and then to get your win ticket scratched out in pencil. Is there an "out of boundary line" rule announced or stated anywhere at that track during eliminations to let "non-regulars" aware of such a thing? I too have never heard of that in 40+ years.

I was sitting in the water box behind Darroch when he made his run. The car moved hard to the left and crossed the white line by several feet. He gathered it up and I was surprised to see his win light come on. He then proceeded to stop his car on the return road at the ticket booth, blocking all the other cars returning from their runs. There were at least 10 cars stopped behind him. Finally, the track operator came out of the building and said, "...either move that car or you will never race here again...'

I didn't research the rule book but I figure that line is there for a reason. No, he didn't hit anything or cause any problems, however, if that were a reason for not being disqualified, what if he crossed the centerline, and hit didn't cause a problem, what's the difference?

If the call was at the starter's discretion, it was a good one.

So was the one by Elmer.
