I guess that train of thought is long gone !! How are the tech people supposed to know you made an honest mistake ?? I No matter the circumstances Bubski would think you would at least know what class your running !! If you were claiming the wrong combo prior to getting tossed !! Do you think it offends the people you sent home ??

The old GT rule had a formula based on the shipping weight. With my car and engine combo, I could run multiple GT classes and claim either an 86-87 Z28, as well as a1990 IROC Z to run SS/JA At the previous race I ran GT/KA which is an 11 lb weight break, the same as SS/JA which is what I run most of the summer. However, due to the old GT formula, I had to claim a lighter car to run GT/JA, which is the Z28. As I stated earlier, I arrived late, and was in a hurry to get to the lanes for Q1! I mistakenly claimed the year car to run GT/KA when I was running GT/JA. No difference in the car at all. I didn’t have to change anything to run these multiple classes. Do you not call that an honest mistake, compared to using an illegal part??? By the way, that GT formula has been deleted from the rules so now I can claim the 1990 IROC Z and legally run all of the above classes.
