lance line

Somebody needs to rethink this action.
Lance Line and a couple of other racers who won there 1st round races on Friday had their victory stolen from then.
This is wrong and calmer heads need to realize this.

He only followed the NHRA people’s command and then realized he won the race after arriving back at his trailer.

This is a very unfortunate incident to say the least
I cant speak for NHRA or the Motorplex, but now I always carry my phone in the car,we may not like it but it probably won't change this year.
2nd round race one, Jerry Emmons and I were tied together at the finish line. I did not see my light on the wall. We both pulled off the return road,he came back to my car and said "who won?" I pulled out my phone and said "you did" By the time I got back to the trailer they were announcing to make sure who won before you drive past the scales. I know...doesn't help Lance, but would hate to see it happen again.

They should have paper time slips. That is such BULL CRAP no paper time slips. and so much for this corona mess. how much would it cost to have a time slip booth person!!!!!!!!!!!! and so much for the germs. all this mess makes me wan't to quit. Lance Line is a better man then me.i would be in Jail i am sorry. who needs to weigh after you qualify anyway. unless it's a head's up run who cares what you weight.

Something smells like alot of BS here. Lance and his entire family are one the nicest racing families I've met in my young life as I approach 45 years old. My daughters look forward to seeing them every weekend we race. NHRA has lost track of what racing is about. We pay alot of $ to support their events. It is supposed to be a fun experience. If NHRA needs more income, let's start rolling cams....

The Motorplex should have had the win lights on the guard rail working before the event started, they had to know they weren't. With that said, they knew what confusion this was going to create.

Very sad of events. Why the scales had to make the difference in the out come of the actual race is a bit crazy. Rules are rules.. Did someone tell Bobby to cross the scales? Lance travels down from division 5 to a poorly run deal and has to buy the new light bulbs and printer ink for the next race. I can only guess there was a language barrier that earned the fine.

My 2 cents. Division director should have done the right thing.Reinstated,Bill Bogues,Don Davidson, Lance Line.That would have been the right thing to do. As for time slips if you can hand me a fuel check cup you can hand me a time slip.

100% agreed! This crap is why we've not been racing for months NO FUN! 1 hand doesn't know what the other is doing on track and the racers will pay for it in fines. We're coming back this weekend for a National Open and if anything smells rotten I'll be leaving early.

Terrible decision by Nhra.
I’m sure Lance was on the CHIP when he found out he got screwed
It BS that he had a round win given away by incompetence of the people in charge
We should set up a donation to The Free Lance Line Fund.
I’m in for a few $$$$
. Let’s do something for him he stood up for everyone else
