Jon Pellicane was DQ'ed for excessive braking in R4 of SG against Ray Connolly. Does anyone know how bad the excessive braking was.

Well ! Good for NHRA !
Excessive braking is a big issue and needs to be addressed on a regular basis.
If you kill it on the breaks and hit me I promise you the beating of your Stupid Life.
How Dumb can someone be hitting the breaks that hard to smokem up. If your going that fast learn to dial your Car and keep others Safe in the meantime.

I haven't spoken with Jon ...but he runs a .90 series in WNY and I have never known him to be hard on the binders. I wonder if something locked up on the car??

I cannot agree with you more Chuck. If more would be DQ'd then maybe it would make more racers dial there cars honest…

How would you determine excessive braking, and how would you police it. I have seen it done for years, some racers don't want to jeporadize themselves, and race with out getting on the brakes. Others do it, and that is how they race. I am with Chuck, about what would happen after the fact. But if it ever happened to me, I would be done, and just happy to survive. Remember seeing a photo of a super gas going through the lights and smoke coming off his tires, a couple of years ago, and no one said it was excessive. I think it depends on who you are, and what you get away with.

I have been reading this site for a long time, but this is my first post. I just finished my burn out when I saw the car in the left lane at the finish line go up in smoke and shoot to the right lane and then back to his lane. I don't know Jon, but I was asked earlier in the day if I knew why is mph was so slow. Looked to me Ray Connolly was lucky to still have a race car.
