Steve, Gill got DQed for a short pit stop. <snip> [/b]
David, I have a question about the rules....
No names (it's really not that big a deal), but last year I was in a CCPS race where a guy got penalized for a "short stop". He finished 4th about 20 seconds ahead of me. The 5th place car was about 1 1/2 car lengths ahead of me. The 4th place guy was penalized "1 position" which moved him back to 5th. Essentially between me and the guy that finished less than 1 second ahead of me. <_<
Maybe they've "fixed" the rule, and granted we're talking about the difference between 5th and 6th. It just seems like a bum deal at the time.
On the other hand, I know someone who had a "short stop" in an ECR because they were 1 second under.
Is DQing for a short stop new this year? Still not sure how I feel about that, but it's definitely an improvement over "1 position".
