19 minutes in.

The photographer is about even with the back of the Camaro. Flash double flashes and red light immediately comes on. If it was the cause the camera was not in line with the starting line.

Coincidence?

This was 2 years ago....

Jody, the multiple flashes are called "Burst Flash" and they are used in high speed photography. During the burst flash, the flash fires several bursts in a single exposure.

That would be incorrect. The flash is only firing once during each exposure.

Never say never.....but...

I have been around drag racing for going on 50 years and I can never recall seeing NHRA rerun a final round for any reason at a national event

It also seems amazing that the powers that be could decide in such a short amount of time to rerun this round as they did.....

I could easily recount starting line redlight issues going back many years ago.....NO reruns were granted....period...

Rich, It looks like an admission of guilt, doesn't it?

So there actually IS a problem?

Jimmy Defrank is still a heck of a good drag racer and deserving of congratulations for winning two eliminators at one race.....

His record speaks for itself......Wins...Titles....they don't come easy....
