stock winner not weighed
 
Stock winner at U.S. Nationals was waved past the scales. Per Danny Gracia, this was planned. I believe this is outrageous in heads-up race.

Wow, if that's true it's total BS.

Neither car was weighed or fuel checked. Mike questioned this, but considered the source of the answer and dropped it.

A "let's get outta here" attitude!

Of all the wasted scaling and fue l check (every time trial, every car?, how about spot checks?) the ONE TIME it's critical, heads up US NATS FINAL, and waved on..?

I believe they were OK, but come on

I was stunned to see that Plourd not only won this final, but won it somewhat easily. I may have missed it in another thread, but does anyone know what happened to McGinley? Did he spin?

I would like to hear the rest of the story also.I thought he might have spun,but it went 1.46,so that is decent.Car seemed to lay down at the 330.I know that car can run A LOT faster than it did in the final and never thought Brad would win without getting a hole shot.
Something may have broke.

I would be willing to bet had a non Chevy won, it would have been weighed. Also if a lower class car would have beaten a new super car COPO for example. I bet there would have been a spot check. Man I am sounding bitter...
