Starting in 2011 all racecars will be driven by remote control from the grandstands.Phone in racing will also be an option.
The above is no reflection on the D'Agnolo's.

Who called it in the air and was it Heads or Tails?
Congrats to BOTH finalists.

Congratulation Peter and Sam way to finish the year

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo
 

A big congrats to Pete and family.

Hey Ed, I dont think you want the cars run by remote control in 2011. Pete is a factory backed R/C racer too. And damn good at it.

Congrats to both.Hate to see it end this way ,but at least its over for that part. Both of you are great racers. Nice seeing you both at the ROCK. Hope to see you next year or before.

Congrats to the whole D'Agnolo family. I've watched that car race at the local dumps since I was a kid. Sammy is as hardcore a racer as there is, and Pete is a good, young driver. It's great to see an old school car and a family operation getting it done. Great Job!!!

I certainly do not.I can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo
 

congratulations, I have the same question as Chris. Was this to decide the winner of the last national open or the world finals tournament of champions?

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo

This coin flip win was to decide the contingency/win for the Sportsnationals event only that was to be finished Friday of the weekend. Summit All Stars and Tournament of Champions is still pending.

I am sick it had to be decided this way. Pete, Sam & Alex had originally decided in the tower Monday afternoon after the race was called to race for it - possibly at Martin next year. Other classes were flipping in the tower for their wins, but Alex & Pete wanted to do it "right". However, phone calls this week from IHRA forced a decision to be made now and a coin flip took place in Norwalk, Ohio yesterday. It was administrated by IHRA officials, with a phone call to us late afternoon with the results.

The reason for the rush, IHRA could not guarantee that all the manufacturers/sponsors that were posting this year would honor payments in 2010 for a 2009 event. They needed to put 2009 season to bed, and if we wanted to get paid anything, it had to be decided by end of business yesterday.

Both Pete and Alex were driving very well that weekend - it was gonna be a FUN final!! Too bad Mother Nature had other plans. (I still think we should "grudge match race" during qualifying if we are at an event together if everyone is game!) :D

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo
 

Congrats to both teams. I think at least a foot race or dart throwing competition should have been in order.....this is racing, not Vegas. I guess I'm against that crap, because my luck aint that good !! :) Anyone flipping the coins, obviously deserved to be there, so I guess that's fine. But, should all the stars align with the planets someday, and I have any of ya'll in the final round....and the coin flip deal come up, no. We're racin' something....golf carts or whatever.

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo
 

Congrats to the D'Agnolo team, you obviously put yourself in a position to win, and that takes a lot of work !! Good job !!

Re: Congratulations to Pete and Sam D'Agnolo
 

Congrats!!! Must be all that flip cup that you play that makes you a good coin flipper to, lol!
