Easy to answer..They are both habitual holders and were both on the binders. Fletcher was not going to get there to he did what any successful bracket racer would do. You do not follow through an opponent if you are not going to get there. especially when you now they hold numbers as much as you. Little Fletcher was late on the tree Peter had him by a ton and was on the binders to. Just lack of experience or maybe even a failure on the car. Don't think it will change the way he drives, dad has been VERY successful using the same technique.
Question is what if any action did the NHRA take? There is a rule against excessive braking after all. I am curious what if any action they take. IN the end glad it all ended well and it will be a learning experience for Little Fletcher for sure.
You along with a lot of others are right,and most times if there is tire smoke from excessive braking you are out!A lot of times what people don't understand if you brake hard at high speed the brakes will lock up.
That is most times the number 1 topic at the track...most of the slower door-car drivers,will say it's no worse than the Fast door-car & dragster guys ripping the throttle causing the car to bounce on the big tires at the big end,so why should we be throwed out when they are not!
The game has changed in the last few years if you want to win in most any class,you will no longer win many if any rounds if all you do is try & cut a light and run it out the big end.
