It didn't have 3 or 4 holes out. I watched it again; it didn't have any holes out. It ran a tenth quicker than the runner-up....4.00/311 on a track hot enough to cook a steak on....so yeah, the mistake needed to be addressed but I don't think the crew member needs to be castrated over it. I've seen worse - Kenny Bernstein was once shut off upon firing up his TF dragster after it was rushed to the staging lanes for the final round - no time for a pit warmup - because someone forgot to put oil in it. Now THAT would warrant a righteous ass chewing.![]()
Oh man, no oil - never heard about that one. Reminds me of a guy I know who forgot to put the plug back in the pan, and the new oil just ran right out. He was mad but the rest of us laughed heartily.
The weirdest thing I can recall was what I think was a shop towel getting sucked into the intake of a Pro Stock Motorcyle at the line, and shredded right out the back. Needless to say that run wasn't. Seems like it wasn't that long ago, maybe within the past 5-6 years?
