balooshi vs vandergriff (1 Viewer)

[tom]

does anyone else think that the photo finish showed a clear win for Vandergriff?

 

[Dave]

I thought that's what they showed too?? Vandergriff was in the far lane right? The "Tale of the Tape" Showed the car in the far lane ahead at the finish line? I wish I could rewind the thing..

 

[flapjack]

I saw the same thing. Looked Vandergriff won...

 

[Butch]

I also saw that. And Mr. Dunn paused when he named the winner.
Wounder what NHRA will do? Remember Mat Smith a few yrs. ago?

STOP, ESPN showed the 1320 finish cam not the 1000' cam on ESPN3, they have such went back and explained their Mistake

NHRA has tweeted the following reply " NHRA ‏@NHRA
@sremerson It appears the TV showed the finish line camera at 1,320 feet, not 1,000. AlBalooshi defeated Vandergriff."

It appears they just used the wrong photo finish. No harm no foul.

Why would ESPN make that mistake? What's this year 5 of 1000' racing?

Why would ESPN make that mistake? What's this year 5 of 1000' racing?

And they still have instances of the clocks not being changed between 1320 and 1000, so why should ESPN be immune?
