I think the promotors probably made the right decision on this one, mostly in fairness to the other 15 teams that were there the whole night. Let's say the guys who come from Brownstown are put on the tail of the feature but finish in the top 10. What that does is take money out of the pockets of the guys who were there supporting the show the whole night and puts it in the pockets of guys who were over supporting a competing track earlier in the night. I think it would help to look at it from the perspective of the other competitors who were there all night. Look at it like you were the one who had been there and ran your heat. Then some guy shows up, tags the tail of the feature, and maybe wrecks you on the first lap. Then it would certainly be an unpleasant situation. I think the promotors decision not to let you race was to avoid all of this. Basically they turned you away to support the people who are supporting them.
