The pic that was mentioned earlier was also taken at Belle Rose a few years ago, and yes, he should have been disqualified as well. A rule is a rule, but some will do anything to try and turn on a win light. I'm with Chuck on the fact that if you stuff your car into mine because of excessive braking, you better have a lot of cash in your pocket or it won't be pretty. I may not have the nicest stuff out there, but I work for everything that I have and don't need it taken from me because of stupidity

In the essence of fair reporting, I was at the finish line for said world champ tire smokin round at belle rose. I'm not sure if it was the divisional or the sports national either. I remember thinking that he did not jump on them hard when he went through and was definitely not excessive, but it did smoke them. It happened to him at both the national and divisional at belle rose. I have seen many other cars smoke at belle rose in various classes. I just think it is one of those places that generates tire smoke at the finish line. Just go look at the picture in the bar of Jeff hefler and one of the Emmons, then you'll see smoke. It's a weird phenomenon at that track.
