They could back the car down and get down the track, but possibly not set the record that they came to do. I was there to set a record in a stick car and could not get it to leave the starting line at all until I lowered the launch rpm over 600 rpm's from what was the lowest I had in it at any point of the year. Yes, I ended up setting a record, but not anywhere near where it should have been. If the only reason they came was for the eliminator portion of this race, yes, they could have backed their combo down and gotten down the track.
