Jerry Emmons speaks his mind

Jerry did nothing wrong. No knowledgeable driver is going to watch that video and say that car was out of control. It stayed straight, wheels were rolling, not locked up, he was in full control. I think that was a bad call. Not like Jerry is still trying to learn how to drive.

Completely agree.

I have been racing super Stock for well over 30 years. I have never had a race my opponent has slammed on or locked up the brakes. I watch the qualifying times and know if the other racer is holding. I am not the caliber of driver that the world champs are but I have raced the best. Peter, Anthony, Rampy and several others that race clean and do not hammer the brakes at the stripe. My feeling is this type of heavy braking needs to be addressed by NHRA. It appears that Jerry was with in the written rule on his run unless he was warned prior not to continue with that practice.

I agree as well....that's a bummer, but Jammin' Jerry will bounce back from that, but because of this we just might be looking at this years NHRA Stock Eliminator Champion! The last person I know who recently had to deal with adversity and rose to the top, was a certain quarterback named Tom Brady, and we know what he did now don't we???

He's certainly off to a great start!!!!
