Yup. I mean WTF. You drive 4 1/2 hrs one way to hook at this pull, pay the hook fee, get teched, hook, kick ass and get 2nd, then they give you the boot.
Why would the tech renig? If something so important like a Kill switch was mandatory in a 2.6class Then why would the let him hook. Kill switches are Used on vehicles for Important safty reasons. Why would a tech let him run carrying that kind of liability?
IMO Rules are Rules! If you don't meet then you cannot run. There Should not be any grey area's It should be BLACK AND WHITE! I doubt He would of ran If he knew it wasnt going to count.
