Default Re: Excessive Breaking?

Figured I might as well comment on this issue. Seems like everyone else already has.
First of all, I've known the Emmons boys and Big Harv for a long time..They are the best at what they do.

Now., from what I heard (I was not there), Jerry was warned about this after a previous round. It stands to reason they'd be watching him closer from there on out.
I watched the video here 20 times too, and did not see any tire smoke.
Beyond that, did Mr. Emmons momentarily lock up or drag a wheel or two?
I don't believe you'd be able to see it in a grainy video.
Mr. Emmons knows the answer. NHRA ? Not so sure , but they must have thought they did.
This would have been enough for a disqualification, in their minds.
As I said, I wasn't down by the finish line there, and neither were most of you.
I don't feel it would be my place to speculate any more than that.
