I was in the stands near the starting line. I was surrounded by both John Force fans and John Force Haters. I am sure that some were also Pedragon fans. Everyone knew John was going to loose and why. My wife said that John would probably redlight and I said "no, he'll set the clutch to tight so that he can fight the car all over the track because his fans love that almost as much as winning". When it happened, I didn't hear anybody around me complaining about cheating or anything. Everyone expected and was OK with the outcome. What's the difference between them and this thread? They didn't have the benefit of seeing ESPN persistantly stir the pot, that's what!
