Drew Skillman DQ?

Re: “Live” from Indy divisional
 

Drew Skillman anyone have info on the DQ as he made a good first pass. Did not get to see second round.

Re: “Live” from Indy divisional
 

I believe he bypassed the scales and he did not make a second run. He is in the teardown barn now.

Re: “Live” from Indy divisional
 

Drew was running a new engine combo and lifted at the 1000 ft. and they did not plan on going that fast so he decided to bypass the scales and fuel check. NHRA told Drew after that he was disqualified from the event and he needs to tear down, he passed tear down but can not run this race.:(

Not trying to stir the pot, but I have one question, and there may be a good reason, but I am not aware of one. How does one get listed on qualifying sheet if he passes up scales? I thought you were put at bottom with DQ. He was listed@1.43 and some change under@#1, then he was gone.

In terms of the DQ, it is plainly stated in the rulebook. Under Race Procedures, Section 2, Page 11:

WEIGHING OF VEHICLE/FUEL CHECK
Under no circumstances may a competitor reject scaling his or her vehicle or fuel check. Any competitor who runs quicker than any of his or her previous runs during the event in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Pro Mod, Comp, Super Stock, or Stock, and fails to report to post-run inspection (scales or fuel check) will be disqualified from the even. The event will be charged against the competitor's points events with a zero (0) point counting toward the driver's claimed races.

In regards to the teardown, this is a similar deal to the Cody Lane situation last year. When the run did not technically count towards qualifying, yet the HP stuck. In that regard, NHRA at least has a similar ruling.

Both decisions (the DQ and the teardown/HP) are justified in my opinion.

Well it feels like we are racing now! Alan Reinhardt just played “ Come on, Irene”! I have missed that!!

So anyway! You could not have asked for a nicer day than yesterday! Today is supposed to be the same, maybe a couple of degrees warmer. It is 64 now and super street has just been called up with round 1 of stock next!

We found a good place to eat last night. Rick’s Boatyard. Only about 3 miles from track and good!!

And now for some racing!!
