The decision to disqualify the winner of the May 25 Sport Modified race has been reversed. Although post race tech inspection did reveal a rules infraction, an exhaustive and thorough review of the situation indicates that the part in question has little if any bearing on the performance of that race car.
The Sport modified class incorporates a blend of several different sets of rules in an effort to allow as many similar cars as possible to compete. These rules are in a constant state of review and revision in order to keep all types of cars as equal as possible.
It was never our intention to over regulate the class and enforce rules which make little sense. We certainly have no desire to perpetuate nuisance regulations found in certain rulebooks.
After careful consideration and investigation, we have come to the conclusion that there is absolutely no performance difference between aluminum or steel oil pans. Henceforth, all rulebooks in this class will be purged of this and other unique and senseless rules. A copy of these changes will be provided to any interested party.
In order to minimize any negative effects of this rather unique situation, the original winner and the winner after the disqualification will both be credited with a feature win. All other positions will remain as indicated on the issued checks. Points will be adjusted accordingly.
