Las Vegas schedule and live timeing

[jmcarter]

Don’t find fault with NHRA shutting it down, it’ll be interesting to see if they rerun the pairs that got thrown out there in poor conditions. Was interesting however to read how they jerked around the Factory X cars (all four of them) while desperately clinging to the hope the Pro Finals would be run in the FS1 prime time slot, which of course they didn’t make since Fox threw them over to FS2 to make room for soccer. FS is such a joke anyway, hiring Urban Meyer as a college football commentator, gimme a break.

On NHRA’s plus side, looks like they’ll provide coverage of today’s racing on NHRA.TV, maybe Warren convinced them to do the right thing.

PS, not that class racers care but putting Jeggie in the PS field to block and/or throw a race is pure BS. Hope Greg pulls a rabbit out of the hat in Pomona.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but Hartford pushed the clutch in at 1000ft against Greg in the Semi's. How is that any different?

Ericia was .014 to Jeggie .018 She was quicker to half track no way could Jeggie have won that race. If it was preplanned no way they would have both drilled the tree.

If EE was quicker at 1/2 track not to many others are catching her.

Weather has changed this morning. Cold and barometer has jumped way up.I bet they won't start too early being 42 degrees at 7 oclock

Well known that Hartford runs his own deal, leasing an engine is a bit different than running a complete team car. I didn’t see the incrementals on the Jeg run, everyone can form their own opinion.

You can't complain about one and turn your head on the other, He threw the race.

Live timing commentary says Hartford shook. He was a tenth and a half behind at 330. He did stay in it for a while but not uncommon to shove in the clutch in that instance.

Jeg wasn't going to win either, but at least he was in the race.

Go back and watch the live feed and listen to Alan

Not that Elite has not been guilty of some shenanigans in past but the the live feed view from Erica's car showed she was pulling away from Jeg. I think the incrementals showed that as well. Her car was quicker than his all day. Other folks got loose on the top end, why risk a wreck when you are losing.

So in my opinion, at least this time it was a legit race.
