They sure didnt show the last frame on fs1 lol. Get it right nhra/ fs1. Ask espn what they used lolThen it should never be shown until it is fixed.
We can debate the angles and camera tricks, but to think it’s because a well designed race cars nose sits up too high and misses the beams is absurd IMO.I say it looks like Alex Laughlin was ahead of Bo.....
so.....maybe there's another reason. Maybe Alex's nose is higher and missed the beams.
To begin with, you shouldn't even be referring to the nose, since it's the front wheels that triggers the beams.We can debate the angles and camera tricks, but to think it’s because a well designed race cars nose sits up too high and misses the beams is absurd IMO.

Not at the finish line.......

Are we doing this again?
It's a rolling shutter effect. Have a look at the picture below. The camera is still and the train is travelling from right to left. The way the digital camera works for video is that it progresses down the sensor, so the top of the frame is captured before the bottom. When a fast moving object travels across the frame, like this train or drag cars, it will result in a strange slant.
If you look closely at the image of the Pro Stock cars, you can see how they are slanted back towards the left (remembering they are travelling in the opposite direction to the train below).
The car at the top is being captured by the sensor hundredths of a second before the one at the bottom, enough for the one at the bottom to have travelled further ahead before it too is captured.
It's nothing to do with angle so much as the fact that the shot you are seeing isn't a 'moment in time' as such, it is several hundredths of a second of time captured line by line down the screen.
Believe it or not they have been showing these on tv for many seasons now, loli seldom watch the show anymore , so my question is do they actually show the freeze frame of these finish line errors on tv or is this just people taking snap shots with their DVR and posting. because if the former is true, it wouldnt be wise to even to show the shot. There are more 'photo finishes' in drag racing than any other sport, i can think of and they apparently are using inferior technology. we know there is a solution because this wasn't an issue on espn. I'm guessing the solution involves more money and well .......
