How Do No Shows Qualify Higher Than DQ'S

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
