That sure was strange. Things that make you go Hmmm

Kurt broke the starter drive, do you really think he was diving?

Alan

Could he have push started it, or is it:

A) Against the rules? (I don't think so... )

B) that push starting would screw up something in the clutch package, or even something in the motor?

its insane to even think dive. kurt now leaves with a 15 py lead instead of a 35 point lead, anyhow congrats to justin!!!

On the contrary, but of course Justin stated before the finals that there were no "team" orders. But there's always the chance the diver was the winning driver

The rule is that you have to "SELF START" in NHRA Pro Stock class. They "BUMP" started it and they had to be shut off. Tough break for KJ, (as he is my championship pick) But that the rules, and my "BOY" Justin Humphries won his 1st NHRA wally!

But, it would be the other way around right???? I mean, Justin would dive for the guy contending for the championship.... RIGHT? Either way... No Diving... Just a bad luck situation.

it would make zero sense for kj to lay down for humphries, if thats what being implied and justin stated during his interview there would be no team orders in the final and until it actually happens i gotta take his word for it!

You are kidding right? What purpose would that serve? KJ is in what's going to be a very tight points race and needs all the points he can get. Now if the roles had been reversed,you might have a point but I can't believe you're saying something was up.

I would think Justin would take one for the team and give KJ a solid points lead. Let's say failing to service the clutch between rounds for example would guarantee a win for KJ but not appear as a blatant dive....But then the unthinkable happens and the car fails to fire-up

Jack,
Are you referring to Justin Breaking on launch as that he was all set to dive? Gezz, do we really have to go thru this the next 5 races?

If you really feel "the Fix" is in, why bother?

and i don't even like gas floppers and could care less

Karl, you're just repeating what it said online. No one can prove something broke..... unless you know Gugliotta. So what if the fix was in. Face it,even your fuelboys do it now and then.

and no, I was repeating what bob said over the PA... then watching the car launch on the tube... and no, i don't think justin was going to dive... but that seemed to be what you were implying.
