After making a tribute pass to the late Bob Unkerfer last night, in round 2 this afternoon,, Roger lost control control of his B/A 1966 Chevy Nova Wagon just past the finish line. Scary.
Interesting that you bring that up. In the video, the announcer says the win light to Brogdon. Watching the video, the win light was on for Brogdon prior to him hitting the wall. However in the results, they gave Mike DePalma the win and he lost in the final round. Did they DQ Brogdon for excessive braking? He obviously won the round and in this situation they would not insert the loser unless there was a DQ. I just don’t remember ever seeing that happen before.Reminiscent of Kurt Johnson's finish-line crash years ago when it appeared he locked up the carbon fiber brakes, instantly turning the car sideways. Might be the case here.
Do you know any Mike De Palma moved onto the next round instead of Brogdon? Or did Brogdon make contact with the wall prior to crossing the finish line?Roger hadn't touched the brakes or pulled the parachute when the car made an abrupt left. The initial diagnosis is something broke on the car, turning it sideways.
