Huge difference between USING a throttle stop and "having" a stop. Our local track would only make sure any delay box OR stop was disconnected AND wiring removed and that was always good enough.
Yes, I agree, you guys got screwed, more than one way.
Pretty chicken ***** way to do things.
And wanting to see it in writing would probably not have helped - "the race director has final say" bullcrap is what you would have heard.
