Racers...I want your .02 here...

I was at a Summit race last year when a 12 second F-150 Lightning was lined up next to a 19 second Mitsubishi. The guy in the F-150 pulled out of line claiming he forgot his helmet. He drove back to his pit, got his helmet and pulled to the back of the line. I felt that he should have had to get back in line next to the 19 second Mitsubishi. Well about that time a 69 Dart with a 440 pulled into line next to him. They both dialed 12.09. The F-150 was schooled by the Dart. Dart ran 12.10 and the F-150 ran 12.03. I loved it!!
