You know what I find funny? People come on a message board to discuss their opinion of said topic only to be attacked for no good reason other than you don’t agree with someone’s view. Then when the attacked person takes up for their self that person comes back again and again basically telling them they are stupid for not sharing opinions. Crawl back up on your throne king nothing! I wasn’t part of this thread other than reading it but it pisses me off how many times I see the same guys who seem to have no other agenda than to look for someone to be a d*#k to. I’m surprised there is anyone left posting here other than the d*#ks.
 
The NHRA official working the turn off decides who goes and who doesn't. He's the traffic cop and has a view the drivers in their cars don't. More than once a car has been held because the other car is having a problem and could likely mow down someone pulling in front of them.

Etiquette has nothing to do with it. It's a safety thing.

What?? You made my point for me, thank you! People need to stop thinking, suggesting, or demanding how others should act. As long as he owns what he says, why do you care? He doesn't have to meet the expectations of anyone here. You don't like him, fine. It's your right.

People are just expressing their opinions on the incident. That's what discussion boards allow.
 
I actually learned something new about turn off etiquette. I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Thanks TG15!

How in the Sam Hell does he not know that? While the cameras were rolling, he definitely sold me on the fact that he genuinely didn't know why she was pissed. Maybe he's just a good actor, I don't know, but again, how does he not know what procedure is down there? Seems like there would be driver's meetings at each event to go over some of this mundane stuff that driver's could easily forget about......

As for TG, I'm holding out hope that he gets his sh!t together on the mental side of things, because when he does, he will have the total package. If only he knew that as good as he is, this is holding back a percentage of his performance. There's also a side of me that can't help but wonder if it's all on purpose. I just can't fathom Dad and Grandpa condoning this type of stuff to keep coming up week after week.

I thought they both could have handled the situation a little better. But we have all been in similar positions in our lives (maybe not as Pro Stock drivers, but . . .)

But I will say this, that was one fun second round match-up to watch.

He's got all the talent in the world but such a punk. I'm all for trash talk but own up then when you make a mistake. He messed up, hoping out of the car and acting like he didn't know the procedure and that she was classless was a punk move. If he would have owned up then, no issue. Then to add the condescending sweetheart comment at the end, I was hoping she would have choked slammed him then.

His talent is so good and he has enough money behind him to be huge, I keep thinking he'll get it together. Sadly, like Yoda said, it appears the DB force is strong with this one. :)
 
I am grateful for 2 things:

1. None of you knew me when I was 19.
2. There were no internet message boards when I was 19.

I grew up (sorta) ... So will Tanner. The Gray family as a whole are good people, they will keep him moving the right direction.
 
Perhaps the rest of the Pro Stock Contingent should all pitch in and buy an old Jr Dragster, slap a TG15 decal on the side, zip tie a pacifier to the roll cage and big it down to his pit with a note. "Until you're ready for adult sports, you should try this".

Amen, brother. I'm sick and tired of listening to that BS excuse and am over it. The first couple of times, maybe. Bottom line, like you, I would've been snatched back into line a LONG time ago. My ol' man used the ATM method. First I'm going to ASK you, then I'm going to TELL you and then I'm going to MAKE you. And back then, we skipped over the asking part most of the time and went right to the tellin', and it didn't take me long to figure out what was coming next.
