I think it's a matter of respect for those who've invested thousands more hours and wheelbarrows more cash on their race cars.
The weather can be touchy,and if I'm 'wasting' everybody's time creeping down the longer course with the 130-Club,I could jeopardize some of the other USFRA members opportunity to run while the salt is dry.
If they make an exception for me,then they've set a precedent which might open a can of worms for them leading to regret.
