I agree with the performance,just the reasoning behind it.On his 2 prior runs his best pass was -1.10,on the 3rd pass he went -1.24.The -1.10 was not enough to back up the -1.24+ to even get the record.I don't know how NHRA is going to look at this,I believe it's a one of combo,and it went +1.20 under only once.Have to wait till Tuesday....gsa612

The pan your referring too wasn't a kick out pan. Mark never did mention it was a national open. How fast did you run that day?

It was a 5th rd. heads up against Matt Antrobius . It was very hectic and I was by myself with no help. I don’t recall looking at the flag but I vividly recall seeing the driver door on Matt’s Camaro as we raced down the track. I was determined to get around him and finally passed him at the scales.....There are a lot of good people involved in this sport but none better than the Antrobius family....

I'm not sure what Mr. Hale's reasoning is. But it appears he wanted the number one spot. After the second round of time trials Joe moved into that spot and pushed Mr. Hale back to number two. I don't think he likes that number so decided to push the pedal harder. Just my guess.

None of us like it when someone gives an instant hit to a combo we run but at 81 he gives us all something to look forward to. BP

Joe Costello just did an in the pits interview with Jim Hale. Cool guy. He wants 35k for the car or he won't sell it.
