DQ for "icing"?

james schaechter · 02-21-2009, 02:17 PM

Interesting description. Anyone know what the story was? Icing in itself is ok, so what was it?

Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed
6791 Tom Gaynor 77 John McGann
E1 ****WINNER**** -0.038 10.826 121.89 0.006 10.712 121.30
D/SA Dial: 11.85 (+/-): -1.024 D/SA Dial: 11.85 (+/-): -1.138
Qualified: #38 10.942 -0.908 #3 10.724 -1.126

Heads up! John McGann wins on a red light. Gaynor was reinstated because McGann was DQ'ed for icing.

Maybe it was still there at the scales? Aren't you supposed to remove ice in the staging lanes due to the possibility of leaking on the track?

Jim,

Isn't that a hockey term? The guys from Phoenix and California don't have much experience with that sport.

A trackside reporter tells me that he spilled ice on the track.

Heard on the live feed that he left a trail of ice cubes down the track on the run that stoped the race for clean up .No fine but don,t get to play anymore.

I suppose they ought to consider officially allowing "dry ice".

I wondered if it was a hockey referee call or maybe the car was decorated like a cake.

So I emailed an informed source and he says that ice did land on the track and they pulled the car over on the return road.

I was guessing he got to the top end and only had cake left, and the tech guys would only eat it with icing...lol
