Ed, when you kinda hurt, Jeff always recommends an alcohol infused cold beverage to relieve the pain...

I did not stage in the semi's. Broke the output shaft in my trans. They wouldnt let me push it in. Has to be forward motion under power. Nobody gets the RU money,points or contingencies.

IMHO

That is a dumb rule -- you were the runner-up - it would have made no difference to any one - wait that might not be true on here...

LMAO again

That puts the heat right back on Charlie. He tried to get away from it but the truth came out.

Yep, same thing happened to me in the semis at Gainesville with a bye into the final. Twisted the clutch hub in the quarters. The car stopped moving 10 feet from the starting line when it hit the sticky. My car, Jimmy Bridges driving in SS/L

Charles, Charley, Chuck........... Comments, concerns, questions? I do believe an apology is in order to all for men that you questioned their character and ethics.

Stay Classy Mr. Downing

In Vegas, Etter broke before the semis and couldn't stage for the semis, not the final. That's why no runner up money because he technically didn't win the semis and make it to the final.

In Salt Lake, Lambeck ran fine in the semis winning the round and earning his way into the final round where he would collect runner up money whether he showed up or not. These are apples and oranges scenarios.

I only bring this up because there's an awful lot of "I told you so" going on from the Lamb crowd where nothing has really been proven either way other than yet another plausible scenario.

If it was me and I was broken but the car would still move, I'd stage that sucker and hope he went red. Any way you slice it, there was some type of arrangement made before the final round between Lambeck and Lamb. Only a couple of people will probably ever know if it was nefarious or innocent.
