I have no idea where I finished last night. Changed the set up a bit, and that combined with the track being prepared right  (raced with the WoO Sprint Cars) made for a fun night! I ended up somewhere between 8th and 15th, but I have no idea, was just racing with a group of cars and had no idea the checkers even came out, was having too much fun. Got hit a few times on the cool down lap by one of our more "aggressive" drivers who apparently didn't know the race was over either(no one on this board), so I finally, after 2 years of never retaliating, spun him.

It felt good  ;D
Uh Oh...Jim hits back now...

Well last night, at a track that I don’t like much, I ran 4th in the heat and started on the pole for the main with 15 cars.  Dropped back at the start to about 8 then the car came around, or I am finally figuring out this track, and I was able to work back up a bit and finished 5th..

Finished somewhere in the top 15 last night. I got to run with cars that i haven't been able to run with yet with the help of new tires and a tweak to the setup. Almost got up in the top 10 until the final caution came out with 2 or 3 laps to go. The car was too tight at that point and got passed by a few cars but still managed to stay in the top 15.

I ended up third after leading half of the race.  After three weeks I finally figured out what has slowed my car down.  Putting a new clutch in this week so look out!

Ethan, you ended up 15th, I finished 11th. watching the video you could have thrown a blanket over 8th-12th at the line. I still can't get into the top 10 at Charter!
Still gotta say it was a fun night.

Can't wait to see you get faster Jeff  ::)
Bring those carbs Saturday, I don't plan on working much this week. Thanks

I had a great run in the Legends on Friday night. Started 7th in the feature with 19 cars. Was put to the rear for a lap 4 caution that I was not involved in. Came back to finish 6th with 4th and 5th running side by side in front of me. Never touched a car and had a lot of "fun" ;D. My dad also finished his first race of the season and was able to hang with the lead pack.

Had a bad night at Springfield, MO Saturday.  The engine was popping really badly during the heat race, so I pulled off in case it was mechanical.  I had people from half the legends teams helping me all the way up to when we lined up for the feature (thanks if any of you all are reading this).  We were not able to get it fixed, but it was running so I was going to pull out and at least take the green flag and collect money for last place, then it completely died on the parade lap.  I'll put the details on what the engine was doing in the Engine section of the board if anyone has any thoughts.

I am having trouble looking up specific rules. Brain dead I guess. There must be some provision in the protests and such that provide for that. Soon as I get some sleep I will look into that for you. In the meantime, maybe some of the other members have some advice or experiences to share with you. If you are legal, I would think the burden should be on the protesting party. If you are illegal then I can see the burden being on you. Just really don't know at this point. PM me the circumstances and specific protest, and I'll see what I can do to help.

Claim Rule:

"The claimer may choose to have the INEX tech
inspector send the claimed engine to INEX headquarters
(or an INEX-approved inspection site-determined by the
Executive Director) for inspection for an additional fee of
$250 (payable to INEX). The INEX representative at the
track will be responsible for holding the engine until the
time of shipment (this cannot be done after the claimer
leaves the track with the engine). The claimer must pay for
shipping charges
and inspection fee and the engine must
be sent to INEX within seven (7) days of the claim by
the INEX representative. If the engine is not at the INEX
inspection site within seven (7) days, the payment will be
given to the claimee and the engine will not be checked for
legality. The engine will become the property of the claimer
immediately.
Upon inspection of the claimed engine, if the claimed
engine is found illegal in any way, the check for $5,670
will be returned to the claimer (who is still responsible
for shipping charges to the inspection). All illegal engine
components will become the property of INEX. Legal
components of the 1200 engine will be returned only at
the discretion of INEX and at the expense of the claimee.
Th e claimee may also be fi ned and must pay all fi nes prior
to the legal components being returned. Th e driver may
also face possible additional penalties by INEX. All illegal
1250 engine components (items secured by seals) will be
impounded and become the property of INEX. It will be
the engine builder’s responsiblity to reimburse the driver of
a car found with illegal components secured by seals.
If the claimed engine is found legal, the owner of the
engine being claimed receives the $5,670 and the engine will
be sent to the claimer (who is responsible for the shipping
charges of the engine’s shipment)."

You, the claimee, should not have had to pay for shipping, see yellow writing above.

Thank You Jim! Knew I saw it somewhere.
I think most of the rules are similar, depending on who is in the wrong.
Usually, If you are found not guilty of an infraction, the complaining party is responsible for fees or charges. Unfortunately, it does not apply to your time to pull and reinstall the engine, fluids, etc...  :-\

The claimer is to pull the engine, and you shouldn't lose fluids, all we have is oil, and theres a  50% chance that its time to change the oil anyway. You'd have to re-install it, true, but they also have rules pertaining to jack-ass claiming, so it shouldnt happen too often.

There is always one in the crowd.
I agree with the oil change... But if you were not due to change it until the following week /or race, Then it is a P.I.T.A. expense.
I guess that is just part of the claiming or grievance process that we have to deal with.
