i don't think I've ever seen AJ that mad......but Tony S might have said some things in the heat of the moment that he prolly should have thought.....and then shut his mouth, but i guess i understand

There is no light. Reif said there was one last year but it's gone this year. And nobody knows for sure if Melanie's car was under weight because she didn't have to run across the scale since she lost. Tony said they've been right at 40 lbs over and I'm sure Mel was above the minimum also but it makes no sense how one car can be disqualified for not weighing and then a car that didn't weigh can be put back into competition.

That's an expensive oops!

edit- Looks like they did everything right and NHRA screwed up!

Well - Sarge and AJ were PISSED! Conspiracy? Dim Bulb and Shoe arguing live! Light backpedaling as fast as he can -

Mike says Hot Rod should single for the $100K - unbelieveable!

Mel lost.

Why weigh her?

During eliminations, if say a violation was evident, and the winning car was DNQ'd...............but was weighed before that particular violation was found.........

Would the loser be reinstated..........even if they had lost and passed the scales?

Connie and Doug did not piss and moan last year.

I believe its NHRA's own fault for not enforcing the rule...they let so many bypass the scales, every car should be weighed no matter what. I think both were at fault in this case and what would have happened if Troxel won? How pissed off would Hot Rod have been that she got to come back and make the run without being weighed? And you all know he would have made a big fuss about it. Hopefully everyone learns a valuable lesson from this!

I would say that AJ & Tony owe "The Don" 100k for that small oversight. You win, you weigh it. That's something that an 8 year old jr. dragster kid knows. Then to cry about it, go figure.

Fair enough. They should have scaled, but it also appears there is inconsistancy on NHRA's behalf of not scaling all the cars all the time.

I think you and the DSR haters can stop crying about '06 now.
Deal?

#26 10-27-2007, 11:56 PM

A couple weeks ago "The SARGE"

Was letting everyone know that Fuller should suck it up and shut up about the resetting of the points.

That they earned their spot and their berth.

All of a sudden the rules when not in their favor are wrong, while it DOES seem that they should have weighed. they were responsible.

Dunn said it also near the end of the broadcast.

But i still think that Mel had no obligation to weigh........she lost.

Time for a poll

Dead on with that comment, especially about last year's deal. Tony kept saying how embarassing it was, the only thing that should have been embarassing was the way they cried about it. 100 grand or not, it was just a stupid mistake. Take a moment to find your freakin' bollocks and take it on the chin like a man.

Great post Jeff. I like the karma point. Tony and the team really got away with one last year, and this is payback.
