I have had it happen to me in Modified at an IHRA race.
Have no idea how it is interpreted these days.

Two ways to look at it, with Driver B being reinstated in either case.

1. Driver B was red first, but the car being light is worse. The “first” rule only applies to equal infractions, and being light is definitely worse. Driver B advances.

2. Driver A may have scaled light after the run, but he staged a car that was not legal so he was “first” anyway. Driver B advances.

Marty, IMO.. I don’t see any way that driver A can advance ...I believe driver B should have been called back and allowed to weigh. .....

Driver "B" should have been reinstated. Isn't that why winning cars are scaled after a win? I had a similar situation happen to me years ago. I lost the round but was reinstated because my opponent drove past the scales.

Driver A brought a car that wasn't legal to the race. Driver B didn't cross a lane boundary. Driver B should be reinstated, regardless how he lost the race.

Driver B should get put back in. Same if A didn't pass Fuel

I don't mean any disrespect but how can you be 45 Lbs. light during eliminations. If your weight was Ok last round and now you're 45 Lbs. light and not know it?

Only if he didn’t drive by the scales

Driver B was at the scales and asked to weigh immediately after driver A failed to make weight.

Marty already answered the question about driver B not passing the scales

A similar situation occurred recently at Topeka LODRS Race 1 in round 4 of Stock. In that instance Driver B broke out and Driver A took the win light. Driver A failed fuel check. Driver B was paged back to the tech area over the track PA system. Driver B was reinstated (I assume after successfully passing fuel and weight checks).
