Indy Divisional Posponed

Michael Lyons · 04-26-2010, 07:01 AM

No I can't afford to piss $700 away to go down there and watch it rain when it was obvious to many that there was no way this race wouldn't get postponed. I've spent $3000 this month alone in new safety equipment just to pass tech. But at some point a person has to use some sense about racing and wasting money. So p.o. friend..

Dear friend,

Apparently you missed the part about choices.....I wasn't trying to make anyone mad, I want to race as bad as anyone. However, when things are tight, I don't make the long trips if things look questionable. As far as grade points for nationals, there are 6 divisionals, and three nationals opens. There is the opportunity to get 9 points without leaving the division. At most National events, 4 would be all you would ever need, and lately 2 would get you in most, so you can skip over half the races and still be in good shape.

People keep saying that those are the rules. If that's what it says then so be it, but where is this printed in the rule book that we get? The regulations they posted on the D3 website are not in my book. Do they have a double secret rule book that we are not allowed to see? According to what they printed a super class driver can switch classes if he or she wants, well if you parked your S/C car to bring your S/ST car wouldn't you have to have it teched? How can this happen if tech is closed? They really contradict themselves.

I'm just guessing here but my take on this would be.........switch your S/ST to S/G or S/G to S/C. Or you could go backwards........S/G to S/ST and so on...Not running another car.

We're constantly told "schedule subject to change", this includes when tech closes also. If one class didn't didn't even make a qualifying pass how the powers that be can use the "tech closed" excuse for punishing people that used common sense and realized it was most likely to be a washout is bull shyt!
I'd wager if Sunday had been sunny and a superstocker showed up he would have miraculously been teched in and made his qualifying pass!
