Re: Another close race?
He Took the strip with the Front end of the car... whats the problem here? if you own or drive a mid 80's Camaro you know you have a 3 foot stripe taker aslong as you dip the front end right at the lights....
Could show you 3-4 examples of front ends taking the stripes over front wheels... all ESPN 2 sportsman coverage, its saved on youtube I believe. Key is to know what your racing, your opponents front wheels or their front end... |

Re: Another close race?
same thing happened to me at the 1991 sports nats the final round i was robbed the same way when Ronnie Cardwell firebird tiped the nose and set off the win light. ESPN showed the finish line and i was clearley the winner.i had a better light and was over my dile in.i was ahead at the finish line when his light came on i figured i ran out.but that was not the case.it was the nose just like with Helms.it is just not right.

Re: Another close race?
First thing I do when I determine my round opponent is look at the front end of their car, preferably before getting in my car so I can look under it. This is particularly true in Super classes and with more later model cars in Super Stock it's equally important. "Back in the day" you could always just see where your opponent's A Pillar (or whatever reference point ) was when you were both pre-staged but that doesn't work so well anymore.
