Are we really sure it is fair to tell a guy who runs .80+ under he has to go home to let in a guy who singled for class and ran .55 under?
Yes ,it is. That .55 under car just might be the the most legal, by the books, Stocker on the grounds.
Might is the operative word. A guy who singles for class did not compete for class. I know at least a 1/2 dozen who intentionally and admittedly build cars for classes no one races so they do not have to race anyone to win class. It's a "free ticket" in to a race you have to qualify for.
