Little too much excitement today in FC between this and the Miladinovich incident. Glad everybody’s OK

Looks like Haddock thought the finish line was at 1,299 feet instead of 1,000'.

Agreed, looked like his foot stayed in it a little long. Sure it wasn't intentional. Must have been distracted by something, or a mechanical malfunction.

How about the interview afterwards. Bob kind of threw Terry under the bus and Terry wasn't given a chance to speak about it, but nevermind the fact Bob had run over the cones the day before.

Force has been known to cross lanes on a few occasions. I still remember the one at Pomona when he crossed over in front of Bode at the finish line and his chute straps hooked the injector hat and the pilot spring scratched up a new wrap on a new body. I thought maybe John was trying to tow Bob up to the golf course.

Doesn't the "Electromotion" shut off device get triggered just past the finish line?

I think it's at the 1320. They give the driver a little time to do it himself

Wonder if the throttle stuck?
