15 mods DQed what the -----

[George R]

I know that some push the rules,but 15 cars . something is wrong here whats up citrus county speedway.

[bubba]

Dont know the answer to the question, but do they pay you if you get dqd? There was a 600 to start type payout..sounds like 9000 to the bottom line..really hope that was not the case...everything wasgoing so well for them.

Good tech catches problems before the big race. Stupid tech throws out 15 cars AND screws up what has historically been one of the best paying, most enjoyable races of the year. Sad, sad, sad.

dq

looks like ever one should get a (new) rule book and comply with the rules. center line of crank, height of crank ,engine setback___ect. in the book

[Benny The Mule]

If it is known 15 cars were DQ'ed there has to be more detail than i have seen here.

Enforcemnet of the rules

Enforcement of the rules are a great idea, but as I understand it in the rules it states no aluminum (PARTS in the steering). I was told MR Ray told Dick Anderson the steering wheel was not part of the steering..... LOL someone need to contact Ford, GM, Dodge and have them re name that item piece.

If you are going to enforce the Rules at least be accurate. Every modified out there has a aluminum steering wheel or hub that attaches it to the shaft.

Sounds like Citrus needed to pay for the new asphalt. What a better way to do it. Have the mod's buy tires, fuel, entry fees and all of the other goodies and then disqualify them in post race tech. Good business scheme!

Citrus has disgraced a very good race that has never had an issue in all of the years it has been held.

I hope citrus is happy if this is a sign of things to come the fair board should start looking for new bids because these people will not be around for long.......

From a FaceBook post:

What would be so difficult about simply telling the winning driver, "Your window opening is a little bit too small. We aren't going to throw you out tonight because everyone has been getting away with it for years, but we are interested in enforcing the rules to the letter in the future so it would be in your best interest to have it 100% correct next time I see you here in the tech area".

"Window opening too small"...?? How *large* is the window opening on a *Modified*...? Jeremy crossed the stripe NINTH, and ended up with the win...

mod's

I was told - face book page is hearsay

[andracing]

ithink they citrus county speedway tech man should post what each car was dq'd for to clear up all the talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony, once again, THANK YOU for organizing this race every year. With the huge fan turnout, and a field of the best and fastest OWMs in Florida, i hope record amounts of money were raised for the Brann family.
The race was excellent. It looked like Richie Smith was going all the way, but he started to fade near the end. The battle for the lead over the last 10 laps or so, really showed the driving talent of LJ Grimm and Josh Todd.

I seriously doubt money played any part in the post race inspection. I think we all know the Ray family isn't worried about spending money.
