How about that Force taking out Cruz!

[mastertone]

Made my day!

wanted to throw up, was waiting on the kiss and hug

What made my day was.
Tony and Cruz going out
in 1st. round.

And seeing all the Force cars stay in until the late rounds pretty much spoils the race for me. Different strokes, right???

I thought it was a great call on Cruz's part to pick first pair, and he probably ran just what he wanted to, 4.10 which was a good number. Prock Rocket came through in the end, 4.07 and the car was probably rolled in .02.

Force kicked Cruz to the curb just like ESPN does to the NHRA.

perfect analysis.....if fact mite even go so far to suggest john tested 4x, then
put in the known combination for sunday.
the final was a no brainer; test again, get AAA car into shootout.

are you saying that John lost on purpose, after telling everybody how much he wants to win it all again

If John was testing he almost tested right out of the field. I think it's a little early to be laying down for a teammate

Exactly, I just thought he struggled through qualifying. That wasn't "testing"!

For me, the Whiney brothers and Al-anabi going out in the first round were the highlights of the nitro classes for me.

not on purpose, but wouldn't surprise if he had it set on the ragged edge and was not surprised that it didn't hold, especially in the rite lane.
ok, maybe not 4 tests in qualifying, 1 or 2 maybe.....why not; you are rite i'm sure
his intentions where to not be #16.

With no more testing restrictions and the extensive budget at JFR , it seems unlikely that there was any testing going on during qualifying. There has been mention at the first two races that the car was having issues down low and they were running right on the edge. Throw in a tricky track and it's no surprise they had issues.

Thats his job isnt it?

I cannot believe there are some still stunned when Force wins rounds....
