Default Re: Fletcher at Pomona... Triple up??

Toby, would one have to own all three cars and be driving two to complete the triple up?
Just curious.
It was strange seeing the white whale last weekend without you in it. Hope all is well.

I agree, it was strange seeing pictures of your car there without you behind the wheel. I very much miss the videos and such that you have done. Good luck to you and hope to see you at Pacific this year or maybe Bremerton???

No, one would have to be driving all three cars regardless of who owns the cars. Since you can't drive three cars in NHRA competition, a triple is not possible, IMO.

When they talk about the 28 doubles that have happened in NHRA, the same driver was driving both cars.

So to have a triple, you would need to be driving all three cars. I suppose you could have an owner double or triple, but I don't think they keep track of those.

I think the "triple" was a potential third Winternationals win in either or both of the categories he's already won the Winternationals in twice - Super Stock and Comp. If he'd won both this year, it would be a double-triple, but he came up a round short in both.

Perhaps Alan can sort this one out.

Jacob Elrod pulled a triple at Grand Bend the other year on one of those occasions where they let sportsman racers enter one of the bracket classes in addition to two Pro-Am classes.

And only possible because (technically) the bracket race was a separate race.

If Dan Fletcher (or anyone) went to an IHRA Double Pro Am and won Stock AND Super Stock on BOTH days,what would that be called?

A Double Double,or does IN and Out Burger have a trademark on that?
