'' Your Sh_ _ _ _ _ _ Me''

[nitrodave]

hats off to Marty an Mike on their non-comment when Ron Capps climbed out of his car asking ''WHO Won'',why you did, Ron's reply,your sh_ _ _ _ _ _ me..And they left it alone,no harm no foul. You had to listen close as he still had his helmet on,goes to show you,the Media can police it's self. And by the way,how about that Hot Rod Fuller,always said,Lee Beard made a better top fuel crew cheif then funnycar.

[Bobby Bennett]

neither did they comment on the "fix your G** D*** lights billy Meyer comment over the PA system.

[enraeh]

Didn't hear that on the left coast but did hear JF apologizing to DS regarding team orders when Mike Ashley beat CappGun in the semi's...am I alone on that?

[speedPhreak]

they didn't say too much when conrad was tellin' jimmy walsh the way it was either. i heard a few choice words in that exchange. you gotta love connie. he doesn't back down from anybody. :D

[anotheridiot]

Don knows he will get sponsors pulled if they even smell team orders. Johns got his tied up for a long time. As much money at Evan Knoll is throwing around, I'm sure he would throw it somewhere else right away. Evan was the first thing Capps mentioned when he got out of the car too, almost like they asked him for permission to get the round and was declined. Robert is running good, but AAA is getting enough time with all the #1 qualifying attempts. I think he can get Medlen to throw a round for either him or Hight, but he isnt gonna make Robert lay down. I still think John wants the title but was prouder then Tony P won it and would be gushing with pride if Robert overtakes him and Capps.

I still dont think it would happen in the dragster category and its still why matco left for powers racing.

Hey Speed, any idea what that was all about? I saw part of the exchange but didn't know what he was pizzed about.

[anotheridiot]

I heard Conrad mentioning a hole. All the fuel teams were lining up right in the right lane because of bad areas on the starting line. It seems that the car was lined up right in the middle and they ended up backing up farther to get the car farther right. That extra time got too much heat in both clutches and you saw both cars immediately smoke the tires. I think thats what started the argument was the extra staging time Conrad took to move the car over in the lane after both cars returned from the burnout.

[Justin League]

It was because Walsh thought that Connie took to long in getting Grubby staged since he didnt back up the exact way Connie wanted him to so he made him move over, taking a little bit longer than normal. Cory Mac said in the booth that it was a little longer than usual but not long enough to make a big difference.

[Bob Korreck]

I know when they interviewed Grubnic he didn't have a clue what it would have been about. There were a lot of cars going up in smoke. I think they turned the screw one too many times.

Thanks for the replies Justin and Anotheridiot . I appreciate it.

Wasnt that what Dave Reef was asking Jimmy Prock in a round about way? He asked him Jimmy "whats it feel like to be on a team where winning a championship is pertty unlikely".

Interesting stuff.

I will say this, Robert Hight has the best car in the class and he has all year really, they just cant seem to put 4 good rounds together on Sunday. Always something sneaking up on them and blowing up. If Team Force will ever find consistency again, the championship would be over.

[anotheridiot]

You know, I think Dave Reif can be a real good commentator and reporter for the nhra, but he ultimately asks the wrong questions. They might be the right questions for the casual fan, but us hardcore fans dont want him climbing into the grandstands to ask Blaze how he feels about Beckman losing his round.

If John let Medlen win the title with Tony P, why wouldnt he let his son in law win, just as long as it wasnt another team winning the championship. John had the best chance from all the team cars. If Robert passes him then I say John will be proud to block for him to win. AAA is on all the cars, they supported them for a long time.

what was prock's response.

i just get a kick out of it 'cuz conrad may be a little long in the tooth, but he's still got cajones. he was pointing at the track, and i heard a "f***ing" something come outta his mouth, then something like "you know that's bull****." and when walsh started to walk off, i guess conrad didn't think they were on the same page yet or something 'cuz he grabbed walsh by the arm and turned him back around to get it straight. and walsh ain't no slouch by any stretch of the imagination, but connie still got all up in his b'ness. kinda makes you miss the good ol' days in drag racing when being "PC" was an unknown term, and it wasn't that unusual for a couple of drivers to jump outta their cars at the top end and go toe to toe to settle a disagreement. :D

rut-roe! i missed that one, too. who let that one slip? lol!

If robert gets ahead, I'd expect john to help him out. But, who knows what will happen if they have to run each other at this point.

[damnyankee]

bazemore was in the stands?

[Billy W]

It looked to me like walsh was up set that it took so long to stage Gruby..... if you watched and caught it.. they were doing some majior moving around of Grubnic before staging... looked like they backed him in the groove and thats where the holes were in that lane.. then relised it and moved him over... so i guess it delayed for a few more secs than Walsh liked...

i haven't seen that much wheel movement on a fuel rail (Grubnics) since H Will backed up too fast eairlier in the year and it wobbled on her...lol

I could be wrong, but Do you think the TV guys are told what to ask by
espn,?

I think there's pressure on them to stir things up.

[anotheridiot]

I think there is pressure, but I'm not sure if it is directly with the brass telling them what to say. I think it is more of an assumed pressure everyone has to make sure they rile people up or they might be replaced with some announcer from some midget series.

I think espn can move kenny from the horse racing and the auto insurance commercial into the broadcast and get alot of positive responses.

And I dont think Whit was in the stands, I just used that as a rile people up example :D

Capps. When he beat Force he didnt see his win light come on and at the end of the track he wasnt sure who won until they told him. When they interviewed him over the PA system he explained that he didnt know at first and then said, "Billy Meyer fix the god **** win light."

[anotheridiot]

yeah, I didnt get that either, john never even roared past capps, I wonder if capps thought he red lit.
