Re: Driving Past Scales
In regards to my dad's DQ first round in Reading today, he did in fact cross the scales and weigh. He was disqualified for not stopping at fuel check. My dad said he didn't see anyone motioning for him to go to fuel check so he continued on. When we found out from another racer that he was listed as a DQ on drag central, my dad went to the tech trailer and an official said he was motioning for my dad to go to fuel check. Nobody's fault. Just another bizzare way to lose I guess.

Re: Driving Past Scales
How often do cars fail weight and or fuel check during elimanations?
Seams like a waste of time for the most part. |

Re: Driving Past Scales
I do agree its crazy even checking it unless its a heads up run. But I'm sure they have their reasons.

I'm afraid you need to get your facts straight. My Father crossed the scale at around 9:00 am and continued to drive up the main road. He did not make the left to drive up the road that fuel check was taking place, because he did not see anyone motioning for him to do so. We were parked nowhere near there so it would not make sense for him to drive that direction anyway. There are a few red mustangs that were racing at the track this weekend. I watched watched Carroll Morris drive up that road warming up his super stocker during Stock Round 1. You may have confused his red mustang with ours? In any case, I think my dad remembers what road he drove down after crossing the scale. Hope this clears things up. |
