Apparently Div7 has more than 1 rule book !!!
 
It has come to my attention that it's ok to leave your ICE baggies on your engine during a heads-up round of eliminations and then let the track staff pick them up off the track. I thought even though I got out ran that there was a kind of rule that says you can't Blatantly have crap falling off your car. I understand if a bolt falls off but that's usually a accident.

A post like this deserves more detail. Did the losing car have a chance or not? Or was this third hand info dumped on the Internet by someone.....

That's pretty much what I saw on Ustream.
The announcer even made that comment.
Super Street (Brian Griffey ) had to wait while this went on.

It depends on your last name..AND If you happen to be sponsoring a race at that particular track: A year or so ago (my memory forgets the EXACT Race) Mr Biondo had the same thing happen Nada came of it, The VERY Next event a racer had the same thing happened (Mr McGann) and got DQed. BOTH races were in Division 7. Some people just get "its Ok"
I also saw the same thing on Ustream. a BLATANT infraction!
in my opinion Mr Williams got robbed.

So your saying I'f the losing car has no chance than it should not matter ??
one of the reasons i hate posting on this site is because of responses like this ...
it's coming directly from a damn good racer who was in the other lane.
and to say I'f the loosing car has no chance makes a difference ?? Huh
are you even a racer ??

Troy city boy, your right I did get out ran and that's a fact and I honestly don't post crap to often but rules are rules and racers bring this to my attention that **** is falling off the other car and was blatantly left there then I'm saying why do we have rules. It's clear that all this stuff used for a heads up is to be removed before going to the water box.

That's a damn shame, that run was for a bye to the finals. If it was me I can guarantee you that I would have left that track in handcuffs. You would think a racer with that much experience would have known not to leave any loose ballast (bag of ice) in the car.
I don't think that would have flown in Div. 1 but that's just my opinion. I really feel for you.
