We waited,infact the whole race was held up. I thought someone put oil down or they broke down track.
Well come to find out a Comp racer was entered in Super Stock also and had just made a run and he was Robbie's OPPONENT!! SOOO Robbie sat and waited,and waited all strapped in his Corvette,,for APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES!! We all know some drivers will do anything to distract our mental focus.
I've seen and experienced just about everything from an opponent to brake you're mental focus and concentration. This seemed totally unfair to Robbie and Tabitha because after waiting,,Robbie redlighted.
There's probably someplace in the rulebook that says,,Right or Wrong,,the final decision is up to our DISCRETION!!

You honestly believe that this Comp racer made the decision to take as long as he possibly could and risk the chance that NHRA runs without him, just to throw his opponent off?
You know that they don't just drive Comp cars back to the pits after the turnoff, right?
I cant speak for Robbie, but surely he was aware of his opponent having just gone down the track in the previous class. This shouldn't have been a surprise.,
This is ridiculous, yall will complain about anything.
