Re: Team Orders Addressed?
Kurt Johnson at Indy was racing his dad and his dad was leading in points. Kurts car was faster that day but his dad won by a nose. Kurt held up a sign going down the return road that said " I still have job". We later ran into him at a steak house and ask him how he managed to make it look so close. His reply was short shifted 3 gear 300 RPM and it drops a tenth. This was in the 80s.

It will be extremely interesting to see NHRA fine or penalize under these circumstances.
Talk about poop hitting the fan?

Did they ever fine Shumacher for not shutting off last year ?

KJ was Rookie Of The Year in 93 but you are correct about the sign.

Doc - are you suggesting that teams not in the Countdown might actually accept payment to dive? - NHRA paranoia could go to a new level!
And . . . just to clarify the diving horn. It's a klaxon (battle stations!), not an ahooga -

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
Only Dimm Light would send a memo like that, but I think everyone will race on the up and up, I don't go to the races to loose.

[quote= It like the NHRA just realized what a big turd they just made and they are trying to cover it up by piling dirt on it.
Even covered in dirt, it's still a turd.[/QUOTE]

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
Why would any team mate not in the chase take out who ever is
in the hunt?
Maybe they should do like basketball, Baseball and every other sport.
If you dont make the playoffs your season is over.

Shall we say that this letter is the NHRAs first admission of the flaw in their new "Countdown."

Re: Team Orders Addressed?
The powers-that-be sure kept the team orders/diving in check. Who'd a thunk it would be so easy to do by just providing a one-lane race track?
