Re: DQ at ATCO
I think this thread is getting carried away.
I see your take on it but its not an excuse for what he did. This is stock qualifying why would he be upset over his mistake of getting on the 2 step or setting the rpm before the other car was even staged. In super-gas I never put my car on the converter at 5000rpm before the other car lit both bulbs. The starter always gave enough time to get it on the converter and I'm talking pro light. These guys have a 3 amber count to work with. Quote:

Re: DQ at ATCO
Brilliant take Vic, I can totally see how you'd find that offensive. Allow me to suggest "taking in context" or "reading for comprehension" as additions to your action item agenda...

Re: DQ at ATCO
It sounds like Thomas remained calm and apologetic throughout the whole ordeal.
A testament to his parents, I would say. Now ,for ol' Tex. Too bad W.A. Lee wasn't still around.

Re: DQ at ATCO
Sounds a lot like the Tex Miller I used to know.
He was well known for not doing his burnout until you finished yours and then making you wait in pre-stage until he felt like staging. 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. Last edited by Frank Castros; 08-21-2018 at 07:42 PM. |
