I have received several calls and texts over the week from people who after seeing my son win 4th round at the Div. 3 race at St. Louis and not return for 5th round,and the results posted on Drag race central confused them more.
What happened was, in the excitement after seeing his Win light come on, he inadvertently hit the reverse lock out button and over shot the neutral gate on the shifter causing a brief lock up and tire smoke well past the finish line. He corrected that and steered the car safely off the track, at the scale he was told he was ejected for excessive braking, his explanation was met with indifference so he went to the tower to plead his case to the race director, where he was told that he "already made the call" and if he continued with his plea that he would suspend him for a year! His timeslip , not posted was, .011 rt, 11.928(11.91 dial)@110.59mph,(car runs 112 wot), NOT 88.01mph as seen on the internet (FAKE NEWS/COVER UP), Excessive braking? You be the judge.
