My son Darren cut a very good light @ .014, but the RACE car he was up against in the first round cuts a .010 light. He lost by .025 and the tree was part of it. I contacted Tom from the GTO club, that put on the event , and he said he has asked for a Street Class with NO slicks, but ATCO has refused. He and I both did take a GOLD award in the show which was really cool.

The same happened to my buddy Steve(green '98 T/A with NY plates). Both were exactly the same off of their dials but the other car(which was a slicked up race car) cut a slightly better tree....it happens...that's racing. It sucks but like others have said, when it gets to be this time of year and turnout is typically low you can't have a bunch of classes, it dilutes the number of entries.
