To answer the question in the title I bet every NHRA DD under the same circumstances would have come to the same decision Jay did. But,.. I guess we certainly know how you would have handled it IF you had been the race director. But, consider these factors. Under the same situation with the tree should there have been a re-run if Stokes had redlighted? Under the same situation with the tree should there have been a re-run if Marion had gotten the win? If Stokes had crossed the center line should there have been a re-run? Is it still all that simple? Now please consider this: If Marion had not completed the run, even if he launched the car and then stopped and pointed out the problem with the tree do you think Jays decision would have been different? It would be easy enough to check the tree. I would imagine Jay did what he thought was the most fair to both racers given what he knew about the circumstances. And, he made this decision in minutes, while we have the advantage of hashing it over for days. As my hero Forrest Gump said. "that's all I got to say about that". |

I no longer think so ................After looking at this from several sides Jay was wrong .
