I'll chime in since you're talking about my father. And you tried to play with my brother who is one of the most honest persons I've known. Hes full of integrity. Ask anyone in the pits. He was there before 830 waiting on you.
1.You cheated at the coin flip, you know exactly what you did.
2. NHRA officials told my father that you were personally informed Friday night you were a designated pair.
3. You got to the lanes AFTER 830 and took your sweet ol' time with your hood up and talking to people while my brother was being held up under the tower waiting for you for over 6 minutes.
4. NHRA admitted to my brother they were wrong for making him wait.
5. You have been in this sport longer than most people in the staging lanes. You are a drag racing veteran and you know how the system works. As a family that is relatively new to the national event system, you put a really bad taste in our mouth and others as well once they realize what you did.
6. Brent had an awful light. In the end he lost the race.

So it took me a few minutes to get my stuff on and the lane official even helped (thanks Bill) .My competition waited behind the water box and we went to the line together.He had a bad light and I thought it was over but while at fuel check one of his crew guys drove up and screamed about ten times that I'm a no good piece of ***** with many officials standing by - he had no idea how close he was from being ejected from the grounds. Way too much drama for me - this is supposed to be fun ……….
On to round 2.
