I was watching a broadcast on MavTv (Canada)
over the weekend from a dirt track somewhere in Ontario Canada.The first kinda odd thing I saw was 39,yes I said 39 mini stocks starting the feature.It was on a half mile but still that's a crapload of minis on any track.One cool aspect of the broadcast was they had a camera set up in the tech shed and showed them weighing the top 3 post race before on track trophy presentations/interviews.The kinda strange thing I heard the announcers say was that if a car was too light on the scales,then everybody moved up a position in the final race order.But if they failed tech for reasons other than minimum weight rules,then if it was the winner that failed the winner's spot was vacated leaving second place as the top finisher but not credited with a win.I had never heard of this and wondered if its like that at more than just that particular track and if so how long has this been a standard procedure in Canada.
