Do the pros get a waiver for stuff like that?

If both the doors fall off my stocker but I win will I pass the scales like they do?

Interesting!

From everything I've seen at hundreds of races, I'd answer your questions as "Yes" and "Not a Chance".

I'm not sure when it was started (or if it's always been that way) but it was at least ten years ago that I learned of the waiver in the fuel.classes. All of us in the Media Center were told that as long as the car didn't cross the center line or hit a wall it would be legal to race the next round and that scales/fuel would be waived.

That's all I know since any logic used in this ruling was not provided at the time of the explanation.
