Justin, You know it, I know it and a lot of people know what happened but you are just wasting your breath. There are those that can't stand the thought of JF winning so bad that they will come up with all kinds of crap to show how he didn't deserve it. It is really sad....
Like I posted in another thread, this is the time all the conspiracy theorists start the annual diving nationals.....
This is big business and multicar teams are here to stay.... Deal with it.
Man I get tired of hearing all the whineing about this stuff. These people should move to the Napa Valley where all the rest of the wine is.....

Ya see, that's how really slick they are. Hight tanks the race but makes it look like it was run all out. Appx .025 MOV. They're a foxy bunch!!
I don't see how anyone could even almost think Hight dove for John. THey were both in the chase so there was no need or advantage gained from it.
As for John's remarkable march up the standings. It has no meaning this year. We could be watching something even greater than Schumachers heroics last year, of course we were told we'd never see that again and needed a countdown, After the next race they're going to give Force a couple hundred points anyway so what does it matter.

, After the next race they're going to give Force a couple hundred points anyway so what does it matter.The only thing is that under the old system Capps probably wouldn't have gone into test mode the last few races. Hey wait a minute wasn't this brilliant countdown supposed to prevent racers from going into test mode. I guess we'll never know how this funny car season would have played out, thank you Tom Compton.

I guess you forgot about Tony schumacher last year?
Joe,
Tony was between 8th and 5th last year when he started his march up. He was only like 400 points back or something.
John was in 20th. And 300 points out of the chase, and way more back from 1st place.
He's made up way more ground already than Tony did last year.

See, I told you they were slick!
The team deserves a lot of credit, not playing "team rules", overcoming adversity, and the week off.

Hight had the jump on the tree, and from what I remember on the incrementals, had quicker numbers to 60 and 330. Force was quicker to 660 by a couple thow.. both cars were 260.xx. John was 4.09 to Hights 4.10 at 1000'. I didn't get a chance to talk to Jimmy before I left, but I assume it dropped a cylinder down around 1000' and that was that. It was about 7-10 MPH down from what it had been running earlier in the weekend.
I can't believe how ANYBODY would even think this would have been a dive??? Are you F'N kidding me??? There are some true idiots out there.
Hight needed a 4.793 to win, and it was on pace for something right around 4.78-4.79 if it had run clean to the lights. It could have gone ethier way even then.
You ain't seen the last of the AAA car, I would not be surprised to see something better then the 4.63 if the conditions are right come the end of the year!

What kind of a moron would think a team was diving in a FC with .025 at the stripe? When I was watching it last night, I didn't catch the throttle blips as Robert let John go around him, but maybe ESPN is part of the cover up.
As far as comebacks are concerned, Schumacher's doesn't even come close to this, and I really don't see how the comparison can be made. Even without the Countdown crap, Force could probably still come back and win it all. No one has ever come close to having that kind of comeback.
