Tom Compton at the Finals
 

:confused::confused: To me Tom Compton looked like he didn't belong there. No real enthusiasm for the winners and a blank look on his face. Plus Erica almost hit him with the trophy. What do you all think??????

Re: Tom Compton at the Finals
 

He never fits in IMHO. But I was impressed that she could get that trophy over her head. She only bobbled a little once at first.

He was there asking the hard questions, such as:

lifted from Dragracingonline.co
"Reportedly, some NHRA suits were asking how hard it would be for current NHRA Pro Stock teams to convert their operations to Pro Mod. If true, that is just one more example of how disconnected from the reality of drag racing some of the NHRA management is!"

Might make for a new comedy called, "Clueless in Pomona." LOL

He was just pondering how long the fat cheques would keep coming in. I think they have milked all the cows dry and future of pros. is a show coming to and end.

I bet he hated mingling with the blue collar rabble we call "racers". You bet he was chugging beers between his tough job of congratulating the winners. I was so hoping Erica would hit him with that trophy! He totally acted as though he wanted to be there.... NOT! Jim

I agree with you Jim 100%!!! He also probably was ok with ESPN's Top Ten list showing having Erica at #10 when what she did on Sunday was much more challenging to do than those in spots 4-9 (and probably all of them given the lack of help she got from other racers...sure fired leaver Jeg Coughlin having a -.023 reaction time against Jason Line, when normally if he'd red-bulb it would only be my thousandts of a second)! Way to go Erica!!!!

My heart feels the loss of Mr. Wally Parks when any of the current NHRA suits speak.

Re: Tom Compton at the Finals
 

He has 0 interests in Drag Racing. Could care less about it. Take the money and run that's his plan. Once the ship goes down he will just move on. He does not care if there is a future for NHRA. He is only concerned about the future of his bank account.
