I always understood once your staged the run counts no matter what happens. We spend a lot of money to do this and this A hole makes a call that is not in the rule book and only one Q run. BS. We had this happen once before befor in the water box, pulled around to end of line made a run and it counted.

Oh well we have never been real lucky LOL

Reinhart was talking about it as the run was happening. Saying it was a no-no and the run wasn?t going to count.

Doesn?t matter to me but I think once you are paired up and sent out on the track, that?s it.

I would generally agree that a qualified class should get at least two hits.
