What happened?

Kenny Wigington · 07-30-2012, 09:56 AM

Their set up sucked. You could see KJ didnt move before the red came on, but it looked to me like Vinnie did, and might have been red, himself.

The guard beam caught him. At National events ONLY there is a third beam and it is out past the stage beam. If anything on the car goes into the guard beam before the car clears the stage beam, it will cause a redlight. Kurt admitted the 60 ft was wrong.

Graham screwed up by talking about things other than the guard beam. It made him look like he was not sure what happened. All Graham needed to say was the guard beam caught Kurt and that would have been the end of the conversation.

I've had my share of issue with the so called "Guard Beam" and it sucks . NHRA should get rid of it now . Several Pros and Sportsman racer have been burned by it this year . They can say what they want but in my opinion it's not on every round at the Nationals , I think the starter turns it on when he wants .

Kurt got screwed
