I have been racing super Stock for well over 30 years. I have never had a race my opponent has slammed on or locked up the brakes. I watch the qualifying times and know if the other racer is holding. I am not the caliber of driver that the world champs are but I have raced the best. Peter, Anthony, Rampy and several others that race clean and do not hammer the brakes at the stripe. My feeling is this type of heavy braking needs to be addressed by NHRA. It appears that Jerry was with in the written rule on his run unless he was warned prior not to continue with that practice.
