If that's the case then to quote Emily Latella "Never mind"...........................................

This was an unfortunate mistake. We've all made them and suffered the consequences. The fact Luke personally came on here to address the situation speaks volumes about him as a person. I unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to meet Luke at Brainerd. I saw the car but not the driver.

I do know that the website Luke runs is a great benefit for any driver. If you haven't checked it out do yourself a favor and take a look. The short time I've been a member the has already been a great benefit to me and the membership has paid for itself.

What year is the car actually? 68-69-70 are all different styles...ie...tail lights, grills.....or does that not matter anymore?

Probably one of the best bracket racers in the country will probably get a little miffed about all the attention and FOCUS on Stock next year.
We are all about to be "schooled". And you thought Fletcher and Biondo were a handful....this will be fun to watch.
He has a real skill for turning on the little light on his side of the guard-rail.

A clerical error and you get the boot after dropping $270.00 entry fee, seems like a trival error since the car is completely legal. Like a quote I heard in a an old war movie, :it might have been better to not awaken the sleeping dog"... should be interesting in the coming months.

Good Luck "Cool Hand".

BTW: You all should join his website..www.thisisbracketracing.com..no wait, on second thought please don't.

Luke, The same thing happened to Lawrence Line at Brainerd in 2007, he entered SS/MA with his 1985 Monte Carlo stocker and ran three time trails and was DQ, at time his hp was 255, he listed his car as 1985, but it didn`t fit in SS/MA, But if he had list it as 1984 he would have been ok, Tom

Yearssssssssssss ago at probably my 1st or 2nd national event (Gators) I classified my car as a 72 instead of a 71 on the tear down slip. Dave Danish started questioning me repeatedly "what year is this car" I kept thinking he was trying cross me up just to toss me. When I figured out what he was doing I answered him with the coreet year and he said " change this and your good to go". Sure gave me a break that day! Common sense prevailed.
