Default Re: Driver ejection,NHRA cover up at St. Louis

After watching the video many times I feel the call was correct---My reasons are that the car did not "just smoke the tires a teeny little bit " but locked them up enough to disrupt the forward motion of the vehicle and cause the car to change lanes violently and at one point 100% of the car is in the other lane---It appears that he "lost control" and fortunately did not hit something whether it was another car or the wall--This is way beyond just smoking the tires by "excessive braking" --The driver openly admitted he put the trans into reverse or something of the sort something about his shifter ---The call was a safety issue and was meant as a punishment or deterrent not to do this again---I don't care if he was excited about the fact that he was going to the 5th round in stock that caused him to do this.He was wrong and I feel the decision is correct--- who the division director is or how long he has been the division director should have no bearing on the decision----The offender is wrong, it was the correct decision at the time , after either observing it in person or on a video rerun. You cannot convince me otherwise. I feel the DQ was correct. FED 387
