Thanks PJ, you made me smile while crying in my ice cream...
y'all know how I feel about Hop Sing and the crew on the AAA car. I was hoping the CD would werk in their favor, If Tim didn't win it...
You know I don't like the CD... but having said that, with all the *****ing about Championships being lock before the last four or five events... Sarge/AJ, Papa John in 93, GA several years ago, The NHRA was damned if they did, and damned if they didn't do 'something' about it... personally, I feel if someone locks by INDY, SO WHAT...
There is NO WAY a Champion can be decided by playing with the points... Our Sport is the "Sweet Sixteen" every weekend...
It's just the PC world we live in can't handle a team being better than everyone else over the entire season... It's NOT FAIR...

off my soap box now

Dan you are right sir. When they took away the points lead from the #1's, they also took away the oildown credits they had earned.
Nothing against Curz, under the CD system, Curz is the CD champ.
BUT
Cruz did not take the championship from Wilk........The CD system did.
Last year Fuller - this year Wilk. Wonder who will get hosed next year??

It's obvious by the number of posts thus far that the countdown issue is a sore spot for some. I for one believe your performance throughout the entire season should be used as the factor when determining the class winner!
However, having said that, if the countdown brings in viewership, sponsorship, etc. etc. I wonder if that is not what is truly in the best interest of the sport from an economic point of view? Especially in today's society?
The spectator stands appear less full than in year's past, perhaps it is a misperception on my part?
Having said all of that it may become a moot point if our economy does not recover any time soon?
Congratulations to the 2008 class winners all around!

You drive, I'll buy, up to a limit of $3.28. Then again, with that kind of budget...I'm not going to be much of a buyer, am I?
I'm happy for Cruz, he's definitely had enough lean years. I hate the countdown so part of me wanted Wilkerson to win, but on the other hand I hate 1000 feet too (more so than the CD), so another part of me wanted Cruz or Tony to get the title. I was also happy for Rahn Tobler, there's probably a bunch of teams that wish they had hired him last year when he was available.
$3.28 a gallon of what??? lol!
so.... all of you who are saying that the countdown is not fair and does not determine the true champion and is a screwed up system, were you saying the same thing when the Patriots lost the super bowl last year......
I personally love the countdown, it is the Playoffs of the NHRA, the drivers need to be good all season... but they need to be at their BEST at the end of the season.
I would much rather have the standings close at the end of the season rather than have somebody lock up the championship with 5 races to go....

Congrats to Cruz, Rahn ad the entire crew for the Championship, and, winning 3 races in a row when it they needed it the most!
Cruz earned the title by being a consistent, round winning car and putting away the competition at the last 3 races, did any other FC team do that?
If you can't accept the system, I suggest you move on to some other sport, or, get over it, this topic is about a celebration, go rain on someone else's parade.
Btw, this format is closer to the ORIGINAL one which was, win the Finals and you were the champ, no matter what happened during the rest of the season.
That's just an asinine statement, every team knew the points system BEFORE the season started.another unworthy countdown crowning
