I thought the walls and crossing lanes were "out of bound"? 1973 Charger, former SE, former auto I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....

I thought the walls and crossing lanes were "out of bound"? 2nd car refers to the one that had trouble on the line and crossed the stripe last. Did he get crossed up at the start? I thought he just didn't leave? "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

I've seen a racer, me, reinstituted whan a racer was below the minimum weight at the scales, Same thing if the other racer crosses the center line when you redlight, the redlight is first but crossing the centerline is worst, so the redlighter gets back in ,simple huh Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

They loved it when there were double reds in the finals, both guys got 2nd place money. ($10 compared to $25 for winning) "Everybody funny, now you funny too."
