Pro Stock at St. Louis
 

Anybody else think that episode with Mike Edwards car backfiring through the carbs and breaking under the tower before the semis yesterday was strange?

Doesn't Jerry work for Roger Brogdon not Mike Edwards? I thought he had a lifetime NHRA ban... Guess it got lifted.
I'm interested in knowing what part or parts failed on Jegs car.
Did it just pop out of first gear? Did he fail to activate the throttle stop? :~)

After all the track is in Ill close to Wayne County were there any sightings???

Re: Pro Stock at St. Louis
 

I deffinately thought the day was a little strange for WJ. After outdriving Krisher, he dodges 3 of the biggest bullets out there in AJ, Mike and Jeg? Kinda wierd. As far as sightings,,,look at the replay when they had the frontend off of Edwards car,,,isn't that Alderman back there in the crowd smiling? K&N Charity Day.

Eckman as well as Brogdon work for Steve Kent. The ban is for driving only on Eckman. As far as Edwards, it is very odd that he can out run any car at anytime by as much as a tenth. Maybe the same vandals will show up at his shop and destroy all of his engines like they did Aldermans back in the day.

Man, you guys are tough ! I think, that if I had that run of luck , going for me, I'D BE DAMN GLAD OF IT !! Glad to see WJ get a win again ! You all know Edwards isnt doing anything wrong, just had an equipment failure of some sort. Jeggie lost a clutch or whatever.
The sun did shine on the ole dog then !

I backed it up and watched it a few times. It just appeared that the crew was trying harder to use the scoop to block the camera than to try to diagnose and fix the car. I'm not saying that Edwards is doing anything crazy, but in case like this it would be nice for NHRA to impound the car and check it out. We all know WJ would have more wins than Force if it wasn't for the killer Dodge engine program back in the late 80's and early 90's.

I know they (tech) went through Brogdons car with a fine tooth comb after the crash and didn't find anything. I can't say Edwards is doing anything wrong it is just Odd the way things went down and the fact he refuses to allow an on board camera during his run and has told ESPN not to film the inside of his car during his burnout or stage.
