Wow.
A Very, very disappointing chain of events that was allowed to be transpired.
Particularly since this “gent” has a bit of a history of rules/sportsmanship controversy....

Mr Fagnilli, I would have to agree with your analysis that while this might have been mistakenly allowed by nhra in the chaos of this race, the true impetus of this originated in the Lane camp, not with nhra or in brother Pedrigon’s camp. A sub 4 second 320mph funny car driver really needs a hit on an 8.50 car for an exhibition pass?

Hard to imagine the Lanes’ displaying this class Wally proudly at their crib with any degree of integrity.

Maybe they just figure it’s a trophy you put on the shelf when folks come over to your house for dinner who have no knowledge of the details of our sport.

I dream most every night about winning a class Wally at Indy.
But this is not how I want to score one. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night having “won” one this way.
