More car and less driver playing games
Tired of hearing these guys and gals complaining about staging. Hell they would never make it in the cut throat sportsman classes. These guys and gals are supposed to be professionals you’re supposed to be the best stop stop complaining
This is one of the many reasons I hate the 4-wides.
The way I count it was no way it was 7 seconds 6 at the most that's fucked up
Props on him for owning it. Dude waiting has nothing to do w him staging. If he's gotta be last then he's playing games as well. They all do it but ur responsible for ur own car getting staged.
Just run your own race!!!
I have attended and watched drag racing since the days of Big Daddy and Mongoose! I am a two lane kind of guy and don't care much for the four lane racing. There's a lot going on in the thought process of drivers, doing the burnout and staging. Having four out there is a bit much.
is there enough NHRA safety crews to deal with a 4 car accident all at once ?
This isn't rocket science, if you can't figure it out you get timed out
Same rules for all drivers race your own lane
Yes he accepted responsibility for timing out…..yet, still threw Hart under the bus whom technically did nothing wrong. Keep that up and Connie will pull a David Grubnic on you.
4 wide is a joke.
That's one of many reasons why 4 wide sucks.
Langdon is a horrible driver no star power
No respect he's lucky he is still in the driver's seat
Fire him please!
Playing the sike game got him ! payback plain an simple
Not a fan of the four wide.
Drive your own race. How can you blame another racer for you not fully staging your own car. To blame Josh is totally not cool. If Shawn would have ran his own race Josh might have been red lighted.
4 wide drag racing is nothing less than an effing clown show. Shame on the NHRA for stooping to gimmickry to try to save a dying sport. Note in the background that the stands are not totally full. Many times the 16 Top Fuel or Nitro Funny Car fields do not have 16 cars in them.
Its fun to watch game players get gamed.
4 Wide is Laaaaaaaaaaame
I like 4-wide because when all four can keep em lit all the way to the end of the track it is bad @ss. That 7-second rule does not work so well with 4-wide though.
Torrence is a jabroni
4 wide is stupid in the first place!!
So much for the analytical starting strategy… way to go Langdon
Langdon got what he deserved. He slow walked it. Adios.
4 wide is so stupid.
Gimmicks win not real wins
Bottom line. 4 way sucks.
That Is The Fastest I,t If seeing Ever
Hart taking time is irrelevant to everyone else. Stag and if he doesn't he times out. If you know it then stage.
What a loser Langdon, trying to put blame on others when it was you yourself that can't drive or win. One must stage first to be able to race
Don’t like 4 wide
Who said anyone was playing games Torrance? Maybe you in your mind was!!!
Steve crying like usual
I HATE 4 wide !!!!!!!
4 wide sucks
They chose to sit in stage & pout.🤷🏽
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL NHRA DRIVERS AND TEAMS.
The minute you start thinking about anything else besides your own lane on the starting line you've lost. Don't fall for the games. 9 times out of 10 the game players will lose in the end.
