Tough luck for them, but they screwed up. plus no way can NHRA hand them another freebie like at the last finals.

Last year when Tony didn't shut it off ? How did that qualifying run help them win the championship? The run was aborted after early tire smoke I recall.
A free pass? yea a $10,000? pass was hardly free.

THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING MY MIND!!!!

Some people just don't get it! Even the Kalitta's didn't moan about it! But hey some people just refuse to accept it. O' well, what can you do

If this does indeed occur, I will be joining PJ.

now don't be getting my hopes up like that

At first I just assumed Tony and team messed up, quit complaining and move on but I didn't know that they allow cars to bypass the scales. Plus his comments about Cory getting a warning are eye opening.

Granted this race had nothing to do with the countdown but I love the jabs he took at the countdown. I had never thought of the conspiracy aspect like he did. I don't want to believe such a thing could happen but with iffy enforcement of the rules I suppose anything could happen.

But the important question is Was it exciting for you?

Maybe thats what the need, forget the countdown, just randomly dq somebody and watch the sparks fly

I have trouble with them sometimes too.

I had to download it so that it would quit acting stupid for me.

Right click - save.

What was said between them, should've stayed between them... particularly given the volatility of the situation - though I thought they all handled themselves professionally.

Agreed.
