You would not rerun a top fuel race because of a disqualification. NASCAR would not rerun the race because of winner found illegal. It is over now but there is clearly an order and you go down the order. Need a winner this isn?t preschool baseball handing out participation awards.


I am not arguing, not ungrateful for your efforts just stating fact that every race has a winner. I feel nhra did a big disservice to all that were there, all the fans watching and anyone who was part of this presentation that no one left with a trophy and a winner declared.

A situation has happened that has never happened before, my guess is the competition committee will write rules so this can be addressed in the future.
