29w of Jason Welshan was DQ'd following post-race protest

[clayman2]

I was just looking at the rules for UCRA and I don't see a wheel base rule ? look like Jason got the home town shaft !!!

One would think it falls under the SAS body rules. I too am shocked that someone who has been illegal almost (if not every) time he has been protested was found so again.

How can u check wheelbase at the track and throw a guy out over an 1/8 inch.

[DV8]

How do you throw a guy out for being 5 pounds light? Given the weight of the cars that would be a smaller infraction. I don't know the details of the protest so I can't say if it was an 1/8 or not. Were they going to tear the engine down, check fuel and tires?

My feeling is that Mr. Welshan has used up all of his "good will" in the racing community by being found wrong so many times before.

4th year in a row for some infraction?

I'm sorry I don't understand the reference. Has Welshan been thrown out at ft payne before? I think this is the first year for this series, not sure though.

[clayman2]

this is UCRA has nothing to do with SAS !! body rules have nothing to do with wheel base !! rules say nothing about wheel base !! im not a welshan fan but seems a little fishy home town boy, track owners motor in home town boys car hmmmm !!

I was saying I think it was the 4th year in a row he's been tossed by someone. Not UCRA or Ft Payne in general.

[GRT32]

Jason told me he was 102& 7/8s on wheelbase and they tossed him out

[clayman2]

Hmmmmmm !!!

[DV8]

Jason told me he was 102& 7/8s on wheelbase and they tossed him out

Guy who was there told me it was 5/8 short. That didn't win the race but it may have helped, like say a spoiler that is too tall or a nose with too much slope.

[DV8]

Let me correct this, it was 3/8 I misspoke.

[DV8]

I have a conspiracy theory too. The Ford guy that runs ft payne also has a stake in ucra (he does not own the 42 cars engine) Ford is however an authorized rebuilder, and as I understand it Ford's seals are in Welshan's engine. Da da daaaa... Maybe that is why he tossed him on wheelbase.

[PushinTheLimit]

Maybe the wheel base is covered under the SAS body rules as shown on the UCRA rules page? Just guessing here... maybe they should clarify that for races in the future so there isn't a confusion.

Welshan was DQ'ed last year at Tri-County for a NeSmith race.
