Re: Just when I thought I have seen it all, part two.....
 

this is from NHRA rule book.............
If an event is disrupted and rescheduled due to weather or other conditions, the following options are permitted: Super Stock and Stock contestants may reregister in a different class but must remain within their eliminator category. Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street contestants may reregister and change to a different “Super” category than originally entered. This policy only applies if eliminations were not in progress.

The more I check into this deal, it was just a typo on the part of DRC. The 1st round of eliminations had the car as SS/GA, but the winners list had it as SS/FA. Go figure.

Re: Just when I thought I have seen it all, part two.....
 

Does your source work in the tower? Have them come on here and tell us what happened. He may have had SS/GA on his window in round one, but that doesn't mean he was teched into SS/GA. You really think his opponent in round 2 would have said "OK, go ahead and run F, no problem." And as Jim Caughlin said the computer wouldn't have allowed any dial-unders if they were in the same class.

I just checked my edata that i get for stats and the car in question was in SS/FA in round one. Everything looks fine to me. BTW, RD 2 ladder was made off of Rd 1 winners anyhow so..............

Thanks, Joe.

The funny thing about me changing classes that year (funny now anyway!) was when we went up to the lanes for random pairing. Amy Faulk was in the lane next to me 3 or 4 cars ahead and I thought 'Oh ****, I change classes and I'm gonna get a heads-up first round!' This was before they made the rule that there would be no heads-up races during random pairing. I counted out the cars 2 or 3 times and I ended up missing her by one pair I think. lol

Any truth to the rumor that there was no tech in vegas? Fill out your tech card and turn it in at the credentials window.

He may have had SS/ga on his window in round one,but that doesn't mean he was teched into SS/ga....???....

Sure, why not? Maybe he didn't have time to do it.

Re: Just when I thought I have seen it all, part two.....
 

Been there done that, the tech lanes were crowded and running slow. Danny G walked up to my car took my tech card and signed it without looking at anything.
(probably because I was just a super street car)

Oh, I forgot to tell you Super Slueth racers that the competitor admitted in the staging lanes to changing classes after FIRST round and with the blessing of the D7 DD.....:cool:
