NHRA rules for everyone but STEVE TORRANCE

Mr. Ferre should have just called Officer Friendly, had him led away in cuffs. Simple....Kalitta, who is probably one of the more deserving and nicer guys of that group gets the Championship. Could you imagine what the NHRA would have done!! LOL

A really stupid move by Torrance. The kid can drive a fuel car, and up until now, has seemed to manage the fame and fan adulation pretty well. This dumbass decision will likely follow him for the rest of his driving career. If he wanted to demonstrate true character, he should voluntarily vacate the title and give up the points for the race.

I think Torrence felt that he took too long to stage which does have a negative effect on those cars. I don't blame Ferre either BUT i do think the timing was bad. No offense but Torrence did have a championship on the line. I would think maybe they would have worked out how they both would stage back in the lanes. HOWEVER i do still think Torrence came out of it looking like a complete idiot. They did end up hugging it out. Side note- That was a very emotional event for the CAPCO team as one of their guys son was killed in an accident earlier in the week. Lotsa emotions in that camp this past weekend. I agree Torrence should have been punished in some way. Dunno if Kalitta would have wanted to win it that way.

another thing I got out of this was that Tony Pedregon comment "that he should have just gotten out of Steve's way" because he was running for a world title. Really? we all do that, right? He is the worst "play by play" man ever. Greg Anderson really takes the cake also, Erica just won and he couldn't wait to say something, good lord.

Agree on Pedregon of course but since I zip through the DVR pretty quick during the Pros, what did Anderson say? Keep in mind that EE had ripped him pretty much all weekend and Greg is a pretty intense guy.

Pedregon was just used to "getting out of the way" when he was driving for Force.......

Surprised when they mentioned he took a long time to stage, that nothing was said about the Official Starter being in control on the line. Curious what everyone thinks Buster would have done. If he was dawdling that much and fuel load is a safety concern why not shut him off and send Torrance on a single? The only part of the event we didn't fast forward through was that and the Force vs Hight match up.
