I was standing right there taking live Video behind your car on this run and I agree 1000% . Your crew was going ballistic and the starter basically ignored everything they were saying during this ...
I certainly can't say anything about Jerry's run because I'm not there but yours definitely needed to be addressed.
It should certainly be interesting to hear how this plays out.
And there certainly is a certain NHRA high ranking Tech official frequently reading this forum as I had found out on the Mopar Intake debate.

Jerry is driving great to start the year. Tough call. He was sideways in the victory at the Winternationals. He did it again in the quarters at this race. So I'm sure NHRA said that is enough of that. Well he dipped it real hard and someone must have been watching real close.Actually they were both hard on the brakes.

Not sideways at the Winternationals Paul. I saw the race from the 1000.

If it was John Force all over the track it would have been a great driving job and all over Fox Sports.

Seems to be getting pretty common anymore with locking up the brakes at the stripe. Second round an A/S car and an EF/S car as well. A/S driver dialed up .2 from first round and locked `em up and still broke out a tenth. Getting scary, someone`s going to get hurt!

No. John Force doesn`t lock up his front brakes at the finish line.

So Jerry potentially got screwed out of a win today. The guy they allowed to continue when they disqualified Jerry won the race.

I saw the replay of it on Facebook and he got screwed big time! If that's a DQ I better just stay home this year...
