I dont normally agree with Jeff too much, but I'm with him on this one. And you cant compare the NFL playoffs or other sports playoffs with the NHRA's version. In the NFL, all the teams that make the playoff's have to beat other playoff teams. If I am remembering correctly, Tony Ped only ran 1 other countdown participant the last 2 races. And how can someone (tony shoe) lose 12 first rounds, 3 out of 4 during the coutdown and still win the championship. Thats just plain dumb.
