i quit watching after the 71 got taken out

Posted
I am glad someone else saw it that way. I was caught up in it and was really amazed when Jake was sent to the back.

 

You and most in the pits didnt understand why #71 Jake got put to the rear for an accident he didnt cause.

#24 Marc Roy and he was only staging for his Hobby race.

THR legacy results are at www.lonestarlegacy.cc

 

Before judgement is passed on the officials (people who make the calls), I ask you to join me in the tower on May 12. I'll be very happy to have one or two people join me and help coordinate the input from the 8-12 observers watching the race...maybe you can understand why some calls are made and some that you see are not. I'm not trying to be a smart a$$, I really mean it; you will be welcomed.

RIGHT OF WAY

1. Any car that has his/her front tire at or in front of your door has the line.

2. Officials may not have a good view of your position on the track, it is your responsibility to avoid contact whether you have the line or not.

3. If officials can not determine who has the right of way, both cars will be charged with a yellow flag.

4. Any car that has the line, can not change that line (move up/down the track), until he/she has cleared the passed car.

 

Sorry, not trying to question the officiating too much, but according to your rules, it seems pretty obvious when the #71 car went underneath in turn 3 and was passing and with his front tire ahead, he didnt really cause the accident. Also, if it wasnt completely clear, then why not both involved?

 

Furthermore, not trying to be a smart-a$$, but perhaps during the process of teching after the time trials, the rules might be inforced for all.

 

"7. Each car must re-weigh, on the Legacy scales, with a full tank of automotive gasoline, immediately after his/her qualifying run. Failure to do so will result in a no time recording."

Just out of curiousity, who did not weigh after qualifying. I can safely ask as I know I went across the scales, but had not heard of anyone who did not.

 

Not a question of who didnt weigh, just who shouldnt have passed.

So, you are implying that one of the competitors was found to be illegal after qualifying, and was not penalized?

 

If this is so, please identify and explain yourself. If your going to accuse the officials of something immoral or illegal, they deserve the courtesy of knowing who is criticizing them.

Well, Mr Kruass, what i am saying is that after one particular car was weighed, the two young men that were inspecting it firstly had a problem with its height, in which it failed right next to the scales and then once again even after it was moved to a more even pavement. One of the young men inspecting it even shouted several times back towards the scales that he couldn't find/touch any gas in the tank with his fingers after trying at least three times. But yet, this car was informed to go back to his pit area and would be re-checked again. Upon immediately arriving at his pit, the car driver got out and filled up his tank and started making adjustments to his car.

Sounds like we missed alot. Who took out Jake??

 

Dillon was racing Texas World Speedway.

 

Don't know who or what happened at tech; but if the car was too low and the gas was too low after qualifying adding fuel to the race car would make the car even lower on ride height. The ride height needs to be checked with a completely full tank of gas.

Chuck,

We have a 4.00" gauge that we place under the right front frame to check height. Our roller-coster slab is not level so the #33 car was sent to a level slab. Allison rules state that the height will be checked without the driver. The line of thought is that: the driver can not pre-check his height if he is sitting in the car ( do you really want to trust your wife to get an accurate reading, knowing that you're going to another stupid race, wasting more money?). The two dudes checking the car were new and did not know checks were with-out driver, they were instructed to inform Rick Hille or myself if there were any problems or questions, which they did. The car was sent to a level slab, driver exited, and Rick checked the height...it was 4.0". The fuel level was, at that time, checked and found to be just under the foam level. Rick felt the fuel. The driver did not add any fuel prior to Rick's check.

As far as the #71 vs #3, 4 observers agreed that #71 was the cause of the yellow...

Chuck...I look forward to seeing you May 12, I really do invite you to join me in the tower and I do so in friendship. Bob Riley

Why didnt the two new "dudes" have any problems with the almost 10 cars that they tech'd before this car on this so-called roller-coaster slab? And even if they weren't aware of not measuring the height with the driver in the car, isn't every driver/team aware of how this procedure is done? Why is it that one of your new "dudes" couldn't feel any fuel in the tank after several times trying, but yet Rick was able to feel it on the first try? Also, why would it be a problem/hard to feel for gas with a full tank, and yet if it was a full tank, then why would this car need to add a substantial amount of fuel just after time trials? As far as the #71 and the #3, i suppose everyone will have a different opinion on who was at fault/caused the yellow. :P

 

I also would like to say as a fan, that i enjoy watching the legacy's and appreciate the good work that you and all the teams are/have been doing for this club to put on a great race and would hopefully not wish for you yourself to take my comments as any criticism towards yourself in any way. Also, i am not trying to accuse/imply anyone of attempting to cheat, but was merely pointing out some of what i witnessed as perhaps flaws in the procedure/process during the tech process.
