Let's put a fork in this and move along...

Sorry Dan, but people have to know about what he has doing for more than 30 years that I've known him. Some things don't change and people need to know about him before he does it to them.

Dan & Glenn,
I agree with the both of you, Tex is and always has been a jerk and I'm pleased that he has been publicly exposed but bummed his latest victim was Thomas.
Let's move on and enjoy the greatest two weeks in drag racing.

Nobody else is entitled to know what the results were. It never fails...later, someone will say that nothing ever happens to this guy and nothing was done about this time and that. It's like they want every detail about what happened and what was done. And frankly, they want to be in charge of what is done. It simply doesn't, and shouldn't, work that way. Should all of a person's dirty laundry and what happens behind closed doors be public knowledge? I believe in transparency. But there are limits to it.

. I hear ya Bucky, but consider this....As Dan said it’s no ones business, I can respect that but.....Usually a incident like this is spread by word of mouth and gets twisted up after being repeated numerous times and the end result is not even remotely close to what really happened.....Facts are facts and the truth is the truth....I have to commend Thomas for not loosing his cool and adjusting Mr. Millers attitude...Well done young man....

I just read on another forum that a super comp racer was torn down and found to be cheating, anybody know the facts?

How in the hell do you cheat in S/C, S/G, or S/ST other than using something like a "Matty Box" or a down track stutter box ?

you answered your own question from what I've been told

OK.....I just thought that knowing how resourceful you racers are that someone had found a new and improved way to cheat ! Other than weight I guess that the matty box and a down track stutter are about the only way to cheat in the super classes. When "Tear down" was mentioned I naturally thought something else was new.

There isn't much to read:

word in the pits is that this guy that was claiming the championship early this year, 1 race in was torn down at atco and found to be cheating, using a 3 step on a button to control his rpm. where's the NHRA disciplinary announcement?
