Facebook is flooded with it.

Kurt Hugger was driving the Pro Stock Truck owned by Tom Mettler. I said the starter should have turned the red bulbs on the tree and dq the truck and let the other car go down. Throwing an 70-80 year old man down is not the answer but I was crucified for saying this on FB 🤷*♂️

100% agree...totally uncalled for. Turn on the flashing bulbs, red-light the guy, something.
That certainly was not in the spirit of what we do out there!

There is no justification for what the starter did. None. He has no right to put his hands on anyone, especially a senior. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

It is clear from the video that the starter was not trying to pull the guy away for his safety. That's a strawman argument.

His behavior was outrageous and needs to be dealt with sternly by NHRA.

If the reverse situation had occurred and a member of the crew even grabbed the starter, that crew member would have been arrested and barred for life by NHRA.

It also looked like he never went back to check to see if the open door was latched after pulling the crewman away.

What ever happened to the blue line? Can't interact with the vehicle when it was past that line. Not condoning what happened but the car was prestaged and his competitor was staged.

Go to competition on the top of this page. Tim Wilkerson was fined 5000. for his crewman shoving a official. Did the starter continue on the starting line? Was this the regular starter? Will he have to go to anger management class? We will see if this shows up tomorrow on the same page. Tom
