Good one, Mike! But when we vertically challenged guys take over, the tall people will rue the day when.....aw forget it!!!! As a rule, we short people (I'm not as short as Rod, though) take the kidding quite well. In fact, that jump over the fence wouldn't have hurt many other people, but it was a long way down from the top of the fence to the ground for Rod. Oh, yeah, by the way, nice job Hot Rod and we are only kiddin with ya here!

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

Whit made two mistakes as I see it. He expressed his immediate emotions within earshot of someone who might likely publish or relay to a publisher what they heard, and he didn't talk to Rod about what happened before expressing those emotions. I'd think the team has radios so some exchanges could have occurred before/after the cars made the turn....and who knows, maybe they (some exchanges) did.

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

I am with Justin, Baze left on Fuller so what is his problem? Baze needs to grow a set and admit it wasn't their day and go back to Beard and say " I did my job, too bad you didn't do your's" and just accept the fact that he had his ass handed to him. Baze also needs to realize he was racing the points leader and he didn't get on top by accident.

God forbid if he ever had to run in the sportsman ranks. They would show him the other 99,999 ways to get sent home.

Oh wait, is that the whaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmbulanceeee I hear.

Hey Jerry, is this spicing things up enough for ya.

If Hot Rod lighting both bulbs had made Baze late then it would be a diffrent story.Also I don't see why Rod should have let Baze win.Rod's car needs to get a sponser. Baze is a good driver.But he needs to think before he speaks especially where someone can quote him.

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

Up until this event..Baze has been pretty cool. He's intelligent, articulate..and his interviews showed it.

But he obviously lets his emotions over-rule his other senses. If he would have taken the time to see what actually happened..Rod's actions didn't have anything to do with him losing. Instead..like the Whit of old..he sticks his mouth around his shoe and embarrasses himself.

There is such a thing as being a good loser and a bad loser. Yeah, I get upset when I lose when I bracket race, but I dont go around pouting, the other car/driver was better than me...time to move on. Whit's crybaby stuff is getting old!

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

This is no different then when Whit took a swerve at John Forces car in the shut down area last year after he felt John hung him out. All Whit is doing, is letting people know it gets to his head. If I was in top fuel, I'd hang him out or go quick on him just to "rattle his cage" every time. Why not? Truth be told, he still had a great light, and had the cars ran the same he would have won the race.

Over the last couple years, I have really been trying to give Whit the benefit of the doubt, he's a hard racer, speaks his mind, and so on, but man stuff like this just takes that all away.

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

Reading that makes me glad Hot Rod won. Whit had the better light yet he is still *****in.' Maybe it's time Matco move over to Hot Rod, and Whit get sponsorship by kleenex!
