I believe it was from Friday night. Bacon and Moles both had weight bolted under the front torsion bars, which is clearly illegal but USAC let it slide. Why have rule book if you are not going to follow it. I think that all the teams and drivers want a fair playground plain and simple. I personally think that the USAC 410 non-wing is the best racing of any race class. They should have a much bigger following of drivers and teams with bigger payouts, but that won’t happen with inconsistency of USAC.
The tech guy DQ’d them but someone higher up at USAC reversed the decision. A friend of ours went to the driver’s meeting Saturday and said Ballou was very vocal, along with others. Understandably so, the other drivers were demanding a response only to hear nothing can be done about it until Monday. So we will wait on the edge of our seats to see what happens….or doesn’t.
Wait, what? This really happened? I’m flabbergasted, USAC would never alter the rules to protect their protected drivers.
Sounds like Tiregate part Deaux!
