Div 7 salt lake final what happened
 

I was there for first round but sucked at both ends of the track. Then headed out for the Long Drive home. When I look on Drc and read about the final was this a deal being cut? Have heard about this at big buck bracket races but at a divisional race. This reminds me of Team orders in the pros. What do people think about this. Toby sorry I didnt do a live from salt Lake. Looked like Some good heads up Racing after I left. Thats what it is all about.

Not being there and just looking at DRC, it begs the question..... What size DIVING trunks does Doug wear???

I wasn't able to make the race,but was wondering the same??

DRC's quote.."Well, that was very weird! Neither car made a burnout and just pulled directly up to the starting line and staged. As soon as they staged, Lambeck drove slowly away. Lamb took the green and drove down the track right behind Lambeck. You decide what this was all about!!"

Not sure on size--but ill bet he sold them :D

If it was a dive then they sure as heck should have done it differently. Look at the National points standing and tell me how this would be any different than the NASCAR Richmond deal. NHRA needs to address the situation and if they investigate and say everything's ok I'd feel better about it, can't say how Stock Points contenders might feel though.

I was not there and have no dog in this fight. But if this wen't down as described I can not believe there is not more outrage over this. I would not dive for ANYONE and I sure as heck would not wan't anyone diving for me. What satisfaction do you get from winning when it was pre arranged for you? Maybe this goes on more than I know but if he goes on and wins the championship it will be tarnished. They could of at least been smarter about how they did it. Total BS.

This sort of thing happens all the time in weekly bracket racing. My son who was in the running for the track championship at our local track was approached at 8 cars about laying down for a fellow racer for a fee. His answer....NO, race me for it.Well he lost the round, but I've never been more proud of him. Good to know he's learned integrity is priceless. Without it what have you really accomplished?

Maybe Doug car had a broken trans or something and he had to stage to get runner up. Just saying. Only one's to answer this is Doug orJustin

Re: Div 7 salt lake final what happened
 

Is this really important?

If you are one of the ones in contention for the National Championship, it is VERY important!!!

I bet nobody ever gave Helms, Fletcher, Bertozzi, Biondo, Santangelo or Taylor any free rounds!! If they did get a free round, it was much better orchestrated.
