Where did you run at?...some tracks try to get all racers thru with at least one run before others get multiple runs in...maybe that was the case or unless one of their track rules were broken unknowingly by you...

They didn't give you any reason, they just kicked out you?

that sucks if they just did that and never gave you an explanation.
me and a couple buddies were at US 41 in morocco, IN and we got kicked out. my buddy that was running his civic with slicks and he wanted to heat up his tires in the burn-out box but the guy said "no imports can use the burn-out box" so my buddy said well the other guys have been letting me do it all night. he just said back up your car and leave the facility. I think most of the track officials were drunk cause they were drinking and being obnoxious all night. I heard that place is going down hill!!

I think I understand now...they may have brushed the water off after the lanes were cleared and thought if you went thru you would have too much loose traction to safely run...don't feel hurt...it is probably for the best you got a by...

He most likely meant you were dragging too much water onto the track if you were driving through the burnout box. I don't think he meant to leave the track i bet he just wanted you to get off the track at that time because of the amount of water on your tires. I bet if you had driven around the burnout box you wouldn't have had a problem.
