most series will not let you run 2 classes with same car the guy that wanted to , the crate winner they let him start the race but would not let him race what was that about ? Was they afrade he would beat some supers ?

The car you are referring to was the # 129 of Welshan Friday night, he tore up in Hot Laps for the locked in cars and had to refer to a backup car, he then (by VRS rules) was sent to the tail of the feature for using a back-up car. He was completely able to race in the feature event per VRS rules, I do not know as to why he pulled off and finished 22nd.

Thanks for your questions...
