Default Re: Jerry Emmons speaks his mind

Again, not putting forth my opinion, because I wasn't there.
Video? I've had two people say it looks like Emmons' back wheel comes off the ground.
I did see the video of round two. I wonder if some of you did?

We know that he received a warning after that one.
We know that ,in the fourth round, he was down 10 mph and still ran .02 under the dial.

The starter says he saw an unsafe movement of the car , from his vantage point.
They have to be able to make a discretionary call when it comes to safety issues, in MY opinion.
Should NHRA have said..well, he didn't hit the wall, or the other car, so let's wait until maybe he does? Can you imagine the liability on that one?

Yes, I like the IHRA rule much better.

No, I don't think there was a vast West Coast conspiracy here.
