DNQ's and the Countdown

[The Counterfeiter]

Wow! Dougzilla is propably done and Hight may have put himself in a very bad position. I certainly didn't think qualifying would weigh in so heavily in the Countdown. If ya don't get it right on Friday night, you're probably done.
Something needs to be done to give the teams a chance and provide fans a better show than they have been paying to see on Saturday - Jim

interesting 1st round match ups tomorrow...Fast Jack vs T-Ped and Ms Force Minick vs Capps

I'm actually hoping the spoilers who are out of the countdown win everything from here on out to ruin all hopes of this genius countdown surviving yet another year. Wouldn't it be interesting if the remaining four in each class couldn't even qualify at Pomona?

I don't really think this DNQ is going to have that much of an effect on Hight, as he should still be in good shape to avoid the second beheading. On the other hand just think how huge the Fuller/Schumacher round 1 race would have been? Tony would have been eight rounds back so if he lost the race to Hot Rod, he would really be facing an uphill battle. If he beat Hot Rod then the points battle would have tightened up legitimately.

David Smith and I said the same thing earlier this season. Wouldn't it be great

And I wonder how many positions Melanie would have moved up if she hadn't run into the Countdown Ceiling? Now the best she can finish is ninth - probably won't even get on the stage at the banquet (used to be top ten at least got recognized, now it will probably be the top eight).

Yep.

But hey we have to take it for what it is

James who crew cheifs on Dave Grubnics car at Reading, after they qualified said "well yeah we might have a shot now" But then pointed in the direction of the other Kalitta cars and said "But tell me what do they have to race for now" And I'm like well no one can try and improve on their finish from the previous season, and that sure does suck.

Yeah Larry, that's the real Rub... She's on a roll, and might have finished in the Top Five... Sorry, but this whole thing has soured me on who's The Champ...

Think Mike Ashley did the Right Thing yesterday... Ya gotta KNOW what's Really important in Life...

If it wasn't for the Countdown what in the hell would you all be crying and bitching about?

1) Motor specs in unlimited classes
2) Cost of a pack of Smokes/ bottle of Bourbon
3) The Unenlightened/clueless in pits and stands... and Alan having to tell people to Pay Attention every Sunday Morning...
4) Jacking around with weights, nitro %, spec tires, Pro Stock not running Motors that OEM offers in street cars and turning the class into Neutered Floppers...
5) Why hasn't Mr. Knoll, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Smith said Screw It and Started Their Own Series...
6) ESPN2 treating Drag Racing like the B@$tard Child of Motor Sports...
7) To quote the Eagles... "Call some place paradise, kiss it good-bye"... ask a D'jinn a wish... and he'll give you just what you asked for...
