We finished up running our 1 round of qualifying and class around 10:30. The protest came up around 11:00. We were scheduled to run 1st round at 3:30. We didn't run 1st round until 5:30 or so, but this still would not have given Paul time to get his engine back together had he been legal.
The protest should not have been allowed to happen in the 1st place. That was not enough time to get reassembled.
Good luck to all you points leaders later in the season when your opponent wants to keep you out of competition for the race. Just protest---on the day of eliminations and your competitor won't be able to get back together in time to race.
And this is supposed to be FUN!!!
