Did she Or Didn't she - 02/18/13 08:36 PM

After looking over clips of the NHRA funny car finals it does appear that Force did cross the center line before reaching the end of the 1000ft mark did any one else see that??

What I saw was the edge of her right side tires where close to the center line,not over it. You have to cross over the line to cross over it, not just touch it

It looked to me like the body was on the line,not the tires,the tires are what matters.

plus she did not hit any of the timing markers at 1/8 and 1000 ft...

I watched it live on espn3 and they replayed it several times....she crossed the centerline after the finish line...that is legal.

surely you arent implying that the nhra would give the benefit of the doubt to a JFR car now are you? they have always played fair in the past....
