    I must be blind because I scanned the Lucas rulebook multiple times with no luck. But Schwalls says transponder is to be mounted left front corner where bumper meets frame. Series rule.
    Maybe they have a top secret rulebook.

      Ha. It could be a deal where it’s covered in driver meeting. They need a definitive “photo finish” undisputed camera shot of a real finish line, marked somehow on a wall or brightly colored stick of some kind etc, or someday they are going to get themselves in a pickle.

        There are tons of things that aren't in the rules that they enforce and other things they enforce that are done in a different manner or measurement that is written in the rule (especially body stuff). You basically have to go thru tech to find those things out.

          Personally, I think they should have awarded both with the win, and added up 1st place and 2nd place monies, then split it equally. I’ve seen tracks do this before.
          Short of that, it would have been cool if Bobby and Hud held up the flag together in the podium pics or they both stood on the top step. I didn't think of it until now, so I am sure it would have been tough to come up with on the spur of the moment, but that would have been the ultimate.

            I can honestly say this decision is the biggest load of crap I have ever seen in DLM racing. This is beyond pathetic, and its even worse that people say its where the transponder line is. Why have a stupid start finish line? why have a checkered flag? Why lead us to believe the race ends at the flag stand? So I guess we will NEVER see a photo finish again, it doesn't matter what our eyes see, We are to trust the transponder results, use the transponders during the race, common sense says the winner is who crosses the start-finish line first.

                We still don’t know who really won…….Tire rule lady hasn’t spoken yet, just sayin.

                We normally always wait for the official results at a big race, no big deal……isn’t this exciting????
                Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                  1) wait for guy behind curtain to call when transponder crossed invisible line
                  2) wait for guy with harbor freight tape measure to see if rear end hangs correctly when chassis is jacked up
                  3) wait for tire test

                    obviously, we've tossed that out the window in this sport.

                            I'm not angry, its just foolish. When you allow these things to happen the integrity of the sport is lost. I really don't care who won the race. You race to the finish line and the checkered flag.

                                The ticker across the top of the screen even said Pierce had won, then they immediatly turned it off. As far as i know, any doubts about the finish, the transponder has the final say. I think it was Davenport Speedway with Shep and RTJ a while ago the same deal happened.
