Driver/rider let go during qualifying!!!
I know most of you guys don't like the PS Motorcycles but I just happen to come by this. Was trying to figure out why Drag Race Central had posted a "revised" 3rd rd qualifying order for the bikes and then found the discrepancy re: Chris Rivas!
NHRA News: Rivas released from Torco Pro Stock Motorcycle team (11/3/2007)

Re: Driver/rider let go during qualifying!!!
Has there ever been a driver released during qualifying, followed by another driver/rider trying to get the vehicle in the show?
The article makes it sound like Chris had some accusations towards Matt that maybe he should have kept to himself........IMO, anyway.

Re: Driver/rider let go during qualifying!!!
hmmm...sounds like some moneky business was going on in that camp. Nobody can explain why the rev limiter was changed, the bike wouldn't go into gear and they were supposed to meet each other in the first round? Sounds too suspicious to me.

Darrell just posted in the other thread:
"The bike will return for the final round of qualifying with a different rider."

Allow me to borrow Paul's pic:
And if Matt wins I've found the perfect shirt for Angie:

Re: Driver/rider let go during qualifying!!!
Okay, I've been putting off asking this for a while. Does diving mean losing on purpose? That seems logical, but also seems the opposite of the T-shirt.
