Once started the Top Fuel cars were all over the track. After several pairs and more track prep between each they finally called the race till tomorrow morning. Total joke trying to run that race on that track today. I love NHRA drag racing but this was a total 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I don't know but I'll bet they won't show Vandergriff walking down the center of the track after his race to give the NHRA president a piece of his mind after his near wreck. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

In his own words he could not even see the tree or downtrack, but staged anyway and left off the other car. Smarter way would have been to refuse to stage and shut off. NHRA had no way to win this one. If they called it people would be pizzed, if they didn't people would be pizzed. Glad it is not my decision to make. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

No doubt he was full of adrenalin from his cowboy run downtrack. Grandstands were pretty empty; they should start Elims over, but then the guys who won their pedal-fests would be PO'd as well.

And the entire time I kept waiting for it, and it didn't happen. �. and I'm very very happy to see it not happen as well. I think it surprised Courtney too. If Courtney wants it - her team will have to earn it the hard way.

Great job NHRA,do you not know why you are losing Race fans instead of gaining them?*? Not to mention putting the drivers in danger trying to run a round or two to send the Fans home with out getting to see a race.There was not just a lot of Angry drivers there but Fans as well.

Guys like Bob V fill the field and if you loose those guys there won't be a full field. No full field a lot less fans. Last edited by Biginchmopar; 05/23/14 02:12 PM.

I gave up years ago hoping that the Pros would force Compton and his clowns out that run NHRA. NHRA only looks to the Pros as a revenue source while treating them like this.
