Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
Your strategy is to always hold some on your dial---strike 1
You've already been warned---strike 2 Inconsistent enforcement of rules is part of life. Try telling how unfair that is to the state trooper who pulls you over for doing 5 over... |
Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
The topic is being discussed on social media. West coast racers say he should have been DQ'd while the rest of the country says he got screwed. Kinda makes you think seriously about ever wanting to go out west racing.

Don't know what happened the day before, but video looks like a great example of driving the stripe under control.

Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
I think it was interesting that on March 8th NHRA put up a video on Facebook of Jerry's win at Pomona:
https://www.facebook.com/NHRA/videos/10155112920676410/ He got a little squirrelly at the end. No tire smoke. I am beginning to think he has anti lock brakes as hard as he shut it down in the run he was tossed out over with no smoke. I do think he is braking too hard on all the runs in question, but they certainly were within the current written rules. Bill |
Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
There rules there game, when I was young dad told me if I did that again I'd get spanked, guess what happened? I didn't do it a third time. Didn't matter if it was a bad call or not, they said don't do it again, period. Why does everyone fail to see that?

From the video (not saying that the video clip is definitive), everything looks nice and under control. He crossed the stripe in the center of his lane, unlike his opponent. |
Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
Seems to be a difference of opinion on the round in question. It shows no smoke in video and others agree, but in the article the starter says he did it again and a skid mark is at finish line that was seen by Mr Rice through binoculars. The visual shows no smoke. So who is correct?

Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind
Emmons had to be warned before.
This ruling did not happen over night. This Ruling by NHRA falls under the term Persistent Infringement..! Happens in all sports where the Player gets a pass on a Trifling Foul. First time given a warning. Because tempers escalate and is about safe and fair play. Second time a sterner warning. Third Time - Foul Like driving through a school zone. Speed limit is 25 mph. Despite kids being around you drive at 35 or more... Then complain you get caught.. D |
