There is one thing we all can agree on, "Excessive" braking is a bad thing. We have all seen crashes resulting from excessive braking.
I have spent quite a bit of time researching this story. I've looked at the NHRA All-Access video. This is truly a case of an official making up for a missed call on an earlier incident. Just like in baseball, where the umpire calls a ball instead of a strike on one pitch, then evens up the count on the next pitch, regardless of where the ball is thrown. In R1 Jerry smoked the front tires at the stripe. In R2 he got the cars turned sideways so hard the announcer comments about seeing both sides of the car at the stripe. R3 there was no mention or clear video evidence of anything unusual happening at the stripe. In R4 Jerry is DQ'ed. This is really a bad decision (for R4) because it probably should've happened in R1 or R2. I say a bad decision because of it changes how eliminations continue with the wrong person not being able to continue. Everything is messed up, points, money etc. Dan Foley SC4698 |
