Sorry that your day was ruined. I only remember them complaining of wheelspin slowing them down on Sunday.

He ran the same Sunday as before the last round of qualifying. I couldn't keep mine off the bumper, doubt he was spinning the tires Sunday.
Nobody waved him past the scales, he just did not stop and get in line with the rest of us. I was dissapointed in both him and IHRA.
I built everything I ever raced too.
