Joe, they showed up on the ladder? I’ve seen guys somehow get a grade point without fuel checking (rental or street cars obviously are not passing fuel with unleaded) but they were actually there to fill out and turn in tech card. I didn’t think they ended up on the ladder though.

It’s in the rule book if you don’t weigh in you get DQed from the event. This obviously only applies if you’re actually at the race.

A bigger deal to me than the grade points is that there’s people getting singles that should’ve raced 1st round and the ladder was a complete BS ladder.

I raced one of those competition singles and wasn't happy.
Look what that does to the entire Ladder

At the Orlando points meet earlier this year. I ran the test and tune on Thursday. I showed up late and it rained. I didn't make a run until 8pm. I broke the car. I was able to fix it and just missed the 2nd qualifying run for Stock on Friday. Saturday they went right into eliminations which I knew. I asked if I could be put on the bottom of the qualifying sheet. The Div. Director did say that I needed to brake the beams on a run and would try to get me down the track later in the day. This was on Friday. It ended up raining so I never made a run and didn't get on the qualifying sheet. I'm not saying he was wrong but it should be the same at every Divisional. BP

i was one that got put on the qualifying sheet and didn't attend. I qualified ahead of a lot of racers that attended.. I entered with a gold card, didn't seek a refund, because i paid nothing?? yet competitor i was paired with got a bye run first round. Not trying to get a grade point, Never left the house, but it required pre-entry early in the week.. I had personal issues and didn't go..So do i get 10 points for a no show? Or 30 for first round loss even thought i wasn't on the property? I also received 10 points for topeka, never entered, never attended, maybe its all my fault...time to bracket race......

I always was told Bryan you got 10pts for passing tech..10pts for qualifying and 10pts for 1st rd loss that was the 30pt breakdown

With all the down time for weather how hard is it to check the entry list against who made a run down the track? Seems like the division director made the call on this.
The divisional office should have an answer....but it too late for that.
