I was amazed by the restraint and composure Thomas had during this whole ordeal. Kudos to him for remaining calm when we all know he could've squashed the little peep squeak. I also know of another racer that he jumped all over at Charlotte this year over a generator exhaust pipe before he could get his coach's parking brake applied. Might be time for a little anger management session for him.....

Tex has always been Tex. Hate to think he's getting worse :-o
Often wondered about that salesman of the year stuff on his trailer.
Methinks when you walk into that joint, it's buy or die!

I had a similar situation with Tex at the 98 Keystones. We were paired for the final qualifying run and I prestaged fairly quickly as I always do, I usually like to stage first too. He sat back without prestaging for what felt like an hour then finally came in and we made our pass, I was a little annoyed but didn't think much of it. A couple of people came up to me and said wow that's the longest burndown I've ever seen Tex do. Later I saw we were paired for 1st round and said to myself I'm gonna have some fun with this guy. When 1st round came I did my burnout and just sat and waited for him to prestage, it was far longer than our previous run. Finally the starter started yelling and waving his hands at Tex so Tex went in first because he knew he was about to be tossed. I had a great light, ran 2 hundreth's over my dial and Tex broke out. When I got on the scale Tex started yelling at the tech guys like he was their boss and had 3 of them going through every inch of my car, tires, carbs, under dash, trunk under the seats and more. Everything was good and he was pissed but never said a word to me. I thought to myself wow, he can dish it out but can't take it back.

One time I wouldn't do my burnout until he started his and he's looking over at me getting madder by the second and then had a freak'n fit with me in line at the scales, I told him to go f*** himself.
The song remains the same.

Kudos to Thomas and also Dan for keeping your cool. I can honestly say I wouldn’t have handled it nearly as well if he pulled that on my daughter or wife who are soon to be entering the fray of stock eliminator. I just still can’t see how you can get that upset on a time trial???

So much for the "old Caucasian men" theory. Sounds like this guy has a long history of losing his cool.

At the 80 Grandnats, I had Tex in the quarter finals. WA Lee came up to me in staging and told me no matter what happens, go in last. Tex tried to burn me down but I waited until Buster waved us in and he staged. He ended up breaking out.

I went back and watched that qualifying run. Cannot see any indication of what would have set him off! That looked no different to me than a million other runs?? Sounds like the penalty fits his actions just glad everyone involved is ok. Would have been better if Tex went to his pit and asked why or what! Sad.
