I don,t like spiders or snakes or RED LIGHTS

Hight crossed the stripe first, but we're still waiting for an official time - the 2 second something that came up on the scoreboard, was not quite right... Hight was fast, faster than Pedregon's 4.07, but not that fast...

Word comes there was a spider web in the left lane sensors, which resulted in the timing malfunction. Video clearly shows Hight is the winner.
Ambrose has 9 wins, all in Comp Eliminator, and Aragona has five. Ambrose got the dreaded LB3A or Left before third amber on the tree, and sat at the starting line for a few seconds to watch Aragona drive down the track on his way to the winners circle
Then does anyone know what happened in the comp final car went red sat there while the other guy went down the track more spiders?? NHRA is going to have to get a bug man on there team or a cleaning lady. Tom

Yeah, Same thing happened to me in the same lane second round at the Points race there a few weeks ago. Difference was the computer said I got there second even when my competition (a first class guy) told officials I clearly took the stripe. Result? No video so I lost. Spend a couple of bucks NHRA and send the exterminator out once in a while! Jim

Re: I don,t like spiders or snakes

I was not there. But, did it look the same as what happened to Mike and Jimmy in Pomona? If so then why not a rerun? Remember it happened for one, but not the other? They blame a spider? Interesting......

The spider is the new boogy man

Re: I don,t like spiders or snakes

I find it rather hard to believe that there are spiders infesting the timing lights!! However if that is the case then NHRA needs to check daily as part of the pre race maintainence to make sure that there are/is no " obstructions" interfering with the photocells--- and especially for the final rounds!!!!--This is the 3rd time in 3 races that something like this has happened--once at Pomona and twice at G'ville that I heard of!!!

Re: I don,t like spiders or snakes

What happened in the Comp final had nothing to do with spiders or snakes.

Re: I don,t like spiders or snakes

Had a big spider in one of the photocells at the starting line at Houston. It was causing some bogus ETs and 60's. first I had heard of it.

Re: I don,t like spiders or snakes

Steve I was hoping you would chime in on what happened in the comp final, did Ambrose roll the beams? I was really hoping it wasn't a repeat of what happened in Pomona SS final.
