Excessive Breaking?

[Carguy49]

I have a question about this deal.

Instead of excessive braking, what would happen if you just lifted your foot off the throttle a bit at the finish line???

Might take a little time to know how much is enough and I am not talking taking you foot completely off the pedal, just enough to slow down safely.

Yes, I know it is about dumping the other guy or gal.

Someone might want to ask the final race winner in this case about the result of his excessive braking at the finish line at the Salt Lake Division Race in 2015.
I was there and parked two trailers down from him.

I believe I do remember that. Second race in the first round Kyle spun out and hit the wall against Alden Miller. I was in my car strap in and didn't see it but they reinstated Alden because of it.

Now the big question for NHRA...................

Will it be FIRST, WORST or BOTH D/Q'ed??????????

NHRA put your policy in writing or it's not a policy, it is urban legend.....

I know a lot of racers that spent big money on their brake systems just so that they can play "dump fest"! This is very popular in every Sportsman class. Nothing new. Sounds like they made an example out of him. Lets see how many more this year and of course the starter will end up being the bad guy over his decision of who and when!

The problem here is (as usual with the NHRA) the policy isn't evenly enforced.

That's the only way I've ever done it.
