McClanahan DQ in Dallas

[Ryan McClanahan 7854]

Hey guys,

First time posting on this site I believe. Just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings with my car or what happened in Dallas.

Wheelbase on a Chevy Cobalt is 103.5 per the guide. After Rd 1 of the all star race winners were pulled aside for a wheel base check. My car after multiple eyes and locations came up to 102 even. Clearly under the +- .75”The stagger on my car was fine it was just .75” too short overall.

This is something that would have been caught had it been a pre race tear down like in years passed with the all star race but I was not that fortunate. Ultimately this falls on me as a driver for not checking the car prior to the event.

Super bummed on how everything went down. Hopefully I can get another shot at the Allstars next year. This car will be in Vegas running in SS/AM trim as usual. Hope to see all our friends out at the track!
