Sportsmanship on display at Ohio Valley national oen....

I had to share this,....a few weeks ago in NHRA competition we had a few instances where honesty, integrity and good ole sportsmanship was thrown by the wayside. Last night during the combo race at the national open Ryan Walther waited for his opponent to make the call. There were 8 cars left and Ryan waited in the water box and wouldn’t start his burnout till his opponent arrived....hats off to Ryan Walther ......

He comes from bloodlines that would tend to support such actions 😎👍

And I took a nap at the line and lost that round.

That's racing. I have to add that my opponent that round came up to me Saturday morning and offered to pay my entry for Saturday night's combo race. I told him thanks but that wasn't necessary and I declined. But that just shows the integrity of my opponent and that the sportsmanship was going both ways.
