I wasn't going to coment on this and will not coment on things i have no knowledge, ie; (other racers driving ability or motives), however I will coment on the Race between Larry Gilley and Justin Lamb ! for those of you who are racers, not bench racers understand and appreciate how much work and planning goes into class racing. We try our best to avoid heads up during eliminations for several reasons. You spend hours, time and money to get your car dialed in, then you have to change everything for the heads up, then try and go back to bracket mode. Not something most of us wnat to do. This was the case at LV race.Then things happen, a car gets DG'd and everytning changes on the ladder, Such as a possible heads up in the 3'rd round for Gilley. For those of you that came by our Pit area, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning if was pretty obvious we were preparing the Car in case we had to run Lamb heads up in the 3rd. round. Converter change Saturday afternoon, 40 lbs of ice on everything we could put it on, jet changes, chiller going, we worked on the Car to give it all we had !!!!! setting aside and not even thinking or concerning ourselves with who or what the out come would be for Lamb all we wanted was to win that Round !!! If you were standing at the starting line, which I was because I lined Gilley up then either you are blind, have no knowledge of stagging a Car, or you're just to Jealous or ignorant to know what happens when the 2 step does not attivate !! But just in case it ever happens when you're racing to the car next to you, Don't take that win, ask NHRA to rerun the race !!!!
Again don't know Justin Lamb, Don't know Drew Skillman, can't speak about any other races Lamb has had, but I do know without a doubt we gave it our all and lost on the starting line, no one was more upset than Gilley on the out come of that round ! not becuase of a "Championship" but because we lost that round ! Gilley was in a no win situration, if he would have had a bad light, gone red, been out run, had car problems, all of you would still be acuusing him of taking a Dive, no wonder NHRA complains and dislikes Stock and Super Stock racers ! BTW for those of you that have the balls to call Gilley a cheater, or accuse him of taking a dive maybe you should talk to him at Pomona, might want to order some false teeth in advance ! Lol... just kidding, or just take your ball and go Home !!
