Re: Excessive Breaking?
Maybe the NHRA plan is to sell off their assets such as National Trail, hide the money and then off-shore it???????
You have heard of suicide by cop this could very well be suicide by Lucas Oil...... Could this be their exit strategy???????

Re: Excessive Breaking?
If there's more to NHRA's "story" it's gonna be ugly. Because the DQ wasn't what happened on the track. When the evidence is this plain...... someone needs to fess up.

Re: Excessive Breaking?
Has stock and super stock turned into a braking contest? No wonder the fan base is going away. An average fan cannot even understand class racing any longer and it's braking not breaking into two pieces or more. Spell check is your friend.

Re: Excessive Breaking?
breaking = tossing the driveshaft out of the car on the starting line.
braking = smoking the tires across the finish line.

Also, spell check would not have alerted anybody of their mistake, as "breaking" is spelled correctly. Regardless, Emmons got screwed on this run. Should he have been tossed on an earlier run? Maybe, but don't miss a call and then have an improper make up call later. As the old adage goes, two wrongs don't make a right.

Re: Excessive Breaking?
For all the nut-crackers Tom intentionally misspelled "breaking" because that's the way it appeared on DRC...lighten up guys.

Re: Excessive Breaking?
Allen Sherman has it right....Emmons got screwed. I have watched this video about 50 times and I don't see anything that couldn't be construed as good bracket driving. No smoke from the fronts (or rears) No Tim (Joey Chitwood) Fletcher display of skills, no reason at all to DQ. Both driver's were hard on the brakes....it's the way they race.
I have known Kyle Rizzoli since he was riding his big wheel around the pits and eating co co puffs for most meals.He is a good racer and friend. I was happy for him and the win when I first viewed the results but after hearing about the DQ and viewing the video from the finish line.....No doubt in my mind who actually won. My opinion of course. TT |

Re: Excessive Breaking?
If it is a rule to not smoke tires at finish line maybe NHRA should put it in rule book so there people know what we can do and not do. Then everyone can be clear and Jerry would have been fine.

That being said , I'm sure Tom knew that he was talking about the act of slowing down a vehicle. Some folks just don't realize they are poor spellers, unless someone else points it out. I use Firefox, with spell check built in. Of course that won't correct for using the wrong word, as stated earlier. Same goes for no capitalization, no punctuation, run -on sentences, etc. Carry on....
