Chris Ferguson DQed

[cjsracing]

If it was stated in the rules before the race what tire was legal for the race then I dont see what is so confusing. If Chris didnt have the tire listed then he should have been DQ'ed.

He said he talked to series officials and the officials told him the tire he was going to use was legal.

This happens a lot. One example, I race in a series that has a written rule that we can groove our front tires in the cross threads with a #1 blade but they verbally say you can groove with a bigger blade.

So it says ANY 70 is allowed ? Maybe Stan Lester needs to man up and say we screwed the pooch.

For feature teams can change the LR and RR. The RR will be mandated to be a Hoosier LCB Late Model D70 or American Racer HD70 only for the 50 lap feature.

Now would be a great time for everyone to get serious about the tire rule…..EVERYONE.

It shouldn’t be like the tax code.

I believe they had a special RR tire rule for the VMS race from a post I saw on facebook at one point. I believe they specified a LCB 70 and Chris supposedly had a LSB 70

You are correct. The rules postings are still up in various places

I find it interesting throughout all this argument I didn't see anything about what the rules state. It literally says ANY 70 is allowed, no brand specified. If he was running a 70 it should be legal...From the Ultimate Rule bookTIRES TIRES NOT CONFORMING TO MANUFACTURER'S BENCHMARK WILL BE DEEMED ILLEGAL Tire rule: 2 compounds: Hoosier 1350 or 1600 and American Racer SD48 or MD56 (no Arts 56). ANY 70 will also be allowed as an option for the RIGHT REAR ONLY. Tire usage may be limited based on available supplies. Grooving and siping is allowed.Say

Give Fergy Time the win back and all is good

I don't believe they are 'Jacking' with Chris, just a big unfortunate situation. My guess would be that another team new the rule better than the officials and now they are caught in a bad situation. KC has done nothing but help support dirt late model racing, he no more wants this trouble with Chris than we do. I am sure they will get it worked out, glad I am not in the middle as it looks like a no win situation from here.

I know everyone says the racing and the tracks suk in the south but the ultimates, clash and blue ridge guys put on some good racing around the Carolinas. Everyone in those parts are lucky to have them going up and down the road.

So true 👍 and Fergy is from right outside of Charlotte. I’m surprised Ultimate would JACK with him of all people.

It has been time enough already . Any questions, comments, additions, or corrections to achieving a resolution of this matter ?

We need the Ultimate series here in the Carolinas.

Actually we don't. Losing a series, this one or another, would not hurt at all, and that is nothing to do with Ultimate.

Tire rule, lol……..
