What happened? They showed Larry Scarth winning the semis over Mike Boehner but they show Boehner winning the finals. Did Larry get dq'd?

When I looked at the NHRA TV, the car numbers were flipped.

i watched all day cause I was hoping for a Scarth Ventura final. I never saw the numbers flipped but I was watching live timing.

It confused me as well. I re-ran the math from the previous round and it didn't make any sense until it was explained (the car numbers between Mike Boehner and Larry Scarth being reversed). In any event congratulations to the winner Mike Boehner and the runner-up Roger Kato.

I still don't understand. Didn't Larry win the semi run?

Nope Mike won the semi's. I missed the tree.(darn). He deserved the win, he is very respectful and a nice young man. Good for him!

I was watching live results all day hoping for a Scarth Ventura final. Whe Greg went red first I figured oh well, I still know one guy min the finals. It confused the hell out of me with no explanation anywhere.

I've had to set the story straight on the semi final round to dozens of confused friends and family. I have not looked back at the video, nor have I looked at drag race central. I guess they just flip flopped our names?

Either way, it was nice to finally meet you in person Larry, and thank you for the kind words. I love our sport more than I can express in words, and the people in this sport is what makes me love it so much. More importantly than winning, I want my peers to respect me. So hearing you say what you did about me, means more than the win itself! Thank you!
In our very brief conversation, it was easy to see that you are one of the good guys. One that I will always be rooting for from now on (unless you are in the lane next to me!). Great job to you on great Las Vegas Finals!

Mike Boehner, Greg Ventura has always said nice things about you.
I've met Larry and he's a pretty good guy to. It was just a confusing issue on the internet. I guess everything you read on the internet isn't always true.

Mike,

I should have introduced myself, but I gave you a quick “great job today” while you were talking to Donnie D at the back of our pit area Sunday evening.

Unbelievable finish to the season!
