from the stands
if there have been cars recieving points when they did not start that race then they should not have...it was made very clear to us, if u dont start u dont get points..paid or passed tech or not!!!!!!!
start the race u get points...sit in the pits u get NOTHING...
Check the "Note" above.
If you paid your entry fee, entered the back gate and passed tech, you would be concidered a quailified entry.
In Race # 1 we met these specifications and did not receive any points for the heat race. but we did run in the feature and received points for the feature. So I pose the question who determines if you get points or not. does it depend on the mood of the person figuring out the points. "i like you today so i'll give you points, you smell today so no points for you"
there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to this. Who knows for sure, and who's governing it? I need an answer because if you paid the fee, enter the gate, and passed tech, then by that logic we should get points for the first heat race, that we failed to run, therefore coming in last place, so we should receive last place points. but if the answer is no green flag no points, then those people who received over 200 points for the last race and did not take the green flag, should be adjusted accordingly.

All four of these drivers did not take the green flag for the feature (that is the top group) and ALL of them got over 200 points for the day. (the bottom group) I copied this directly from the Delaware website.
the #11 took the green in the feature and then parked it! thus not completeing a lap
it really shows great sportsmanship when other drivers start fighting because they don't understand the rules. The rules state that if a driver gives the thumb down the drivers car will stay on the track. Not be pulled into the pits. So maby nexttime u'll just stay in ur car then hotseat so u dont have to be unsportsman like.
he did not give the thumbs down..when the big official came to the window the driver said we need a push, and the official said ok get out of the car..then they went straight back to green flag racing, we know the rules, maybe not to the word but we know them and the official knew we wanted a push.
and just a little food for thought...how would the officials know when to stop the race and get a tow truck to push a car unless a driver gives the thumbs down, does he have to be in a dangerous spot and get lucky to catch a red flag, just wondering, as i am not sure to the awnser..
by the way born again, there was some unsportsman like conduct i agree but only by 1 person in my crew, the rest were other driver crew members.
