Boo-ing in Las Vegas on Friday?

rustbucket79 · 10-31-2010, 03:56 AM

By fluke we booked a week's vacation in Vegas that overlapped with their national event, it was nice to finally get to witness some really quick cars. Sadly, I was only able to see a few of the stockers run and no super stockers. I did cheer on Don Elgin since I recognised the car from when he raced in my neck of the woods a few times.

During Top Fuel's final round of qualifying Friday night there was a couple of guys on the non-reserved side of the spectator stands holding up a large poster of a top fuel dragster with a large "X" on it, and (presumably) when that car made it's pass there were several people boo-ing, as well as what sounded like the majority of the reserved seating spectators boo'd while it was towed back on the return lane.

Anyone know what that was all about?

Who was "that car"

I believe it was a blue top fuel dragster, possibly Bernstein's Copart car.
