Tom Compton - Vegas
 

:confused::confused: Did anyone else watch the finals in Vegas yesterday??? Tom didn't seem overly excited to greet Matt Smith on the stage after winning the Motorcycle Championship. Matt had to finally start the handshake. When John Force came on stage, it was like they were long lost friends. Don't you think both of the champions should be greeted the same??? Maybe it's just me, but the whole thing seemed strange.

Just my 2 cents, or am I totally wrong?????????

The TV portion of both Championship Presentations seemed odd to me. I think it was just more the fact they were trying to stage it for TV than anything. I did notice Force in a way, just brushed off #16 "On to get #17".

I would LIKED to have seen the finals from Las Vegas, but wonderful ESPN2 had a 3 1/2 hour show last night, while my TiVo only recorded the originally scheduled 3 hours!

(I won't mention the 10 minutes of qualifying that was shown on Saturday Night/Sunday Morning in between College Football!)

Guess I should attend the races in person if I want all the details!

I think it's horrible that they present the championship trophy after the final run, while the next pair of cars are staging, and there trying to give a speech with cheap fireworks going on in the back ground.

They need to present the trophies to all winners in Pomona at the same time

I agree, all Champions in Pomona, so they all get equal time and hopefully treated the same

I noticed, too.

Sounds like a great plan. Make a brief statement if the win comes early like Vegas, then make the presentation at Pomona in front of everybody. Maybe have a Champions parade in front of the whole crowd. I guess that would be too easy.
