Mike Cotten you are the MAN!

This topic makes me sick. Just because the guy has a #1 on his window and has won multiple races he doesn't deserve a fair race? Now he's stealing wins? Now he's giving Mike the Shaft?
Some have even alleged that he has a delay box because his car moves "somewhere" around when the last yellow should have been there. I cannot believe that people are letting their jealousy get the best of them, but that is proven by their idea that emotion has something to do with what happens when you line up to race. Take your emotions out of it like you should do when you pull into the water box and look at it for what it is. Fact is, both drivers drove their azz off to get to the finals and a computer glitch shouldn't be the deciding factor in a National Event win, let alone a very rare double up.
Just because NHRA is now recognizing their equipment failure doesn't mean it’s some big conspiracy to F over Mike. This can only help people not get F'ed over in the future when this happens again... and it will. You think he's cheating, put your money down and tear it apart when he shows up at a race you’re at... and he will. When you’re right, you get your money back and get to be a hero. If you’re not, you'll look like a punk. Talking crap online is cheap and cowardly. I feel bad for Mike. Looked like he stung the crap out of the tree on the first run, but I'm pretty sure he didn't want to win because of a computer glitch.
