Here's what I know, the best at this game aren't dialing honest and aren't under full power going across the stripe.

Olsonawski is a good example.

As we all know, Jerry is one the finest people in NHRA Sportsman Racing.
He would certainly never go out of his way to purposely flirt with any of the established rules. I would bet if anyone looked into this deeper, they would find with all of the new braking products on the market, that Jerry was testing a new brand or style of brakes, before he let the rest of his drivers put them on their cars. Case in point, a Div. 5 racer had installed a set of the new offerings(Brakes) on his car prior to the Earlville LODRS, and it completely
locked up the rear tires on the first run. So in light of what might be a better way of looking at the possible reasons for premature brake lock up, I would suggest that NHRA refund the fine that they levied, and issue Jerry a cheque for $10,000.00 for any embarrassment they make have caused to Jerry, his family or partners.

Jerry Emmons is a great racer and equally good and decent guy, but is also one of the most highly scrutinized finish line drivers in the sport. If you look back, you'll see he was also penalized for excessive braking in 2023, and for two instances in 2022. His driving style draws extra attention, fairly or not.

Flat spotting your front tires isn’t a driving style, it’s reckless.

Warren, I think I realize the things that you said. I was trying to bring some
higher brow levity to the site in a way that would entertain Jerry. Everything
that is said on this site lately has been subjected to a large amount of
scrutiny, and there is a better way to go through life.

Regards,

I totally misinterpreted your message... apologies to you and of course to Jerry.
