Jerry Emmons speaks his mind

Speaking as an outsider looking to get in the game, I have to say it is a shame when any drag race is won by "sandbagging" in order to cross the finish line hard on the brakes instead of at full throttle. Seems like that nonsense should be left to the bracket racers. How boring for the spectators (what spectators?). But as has been stated, the "top notch drivers" have figured this out and will continue to win that way because the rules have allowed this to happen. Can't blame them for finding a way that works. Perhaps the fix opens up a bigger can of worms for NHRA to attempt to police. Maybe the name should be changed to "Brake Racing" instead of "Drag Racing".
