Question for Jeff Foster and Dave Kommel

[Greg Reimer 7376]

What are photographers doing there anyways? There's too many bodies around that starting line anyway at that race, and although we can't change history, we can eliminate that possibility real quickly. It's also a safety issue. Drive line failure on the line could eject parts, somebody that close could get hit, there's also the distraction factor.Good photos can happen from other locations, why do they have to do that right there?

There is plenty of evidence both video and people right there to prove one way or another if DeFrank's car moved. My opinion for the zero it's worth is his car didn't move.

There is no evidence so far to prove that a camera flash did indeed cause the false red so it's NHRA's "that's our story and we're sticking to it" once again. This isn't an isolated incident and getting to the truth of the matter would be a big step in getting it fixed.

They are there to take the blame for timing system failures, obviously.

Don't know who or what they will blame it on now when it happens again.
