That is the funniest thing I’ve read all day

43 years drag racing, and I've never imagined I would see demolition derby at the drag races! The bone head could easily have had the front wheel of his own car damaged or jerked loose and wadded his own car up! Once the truth was known, he should have been tossed out on his immature punk AZZ. This isn't complicated. This isn't the same as asking the gubmint to do something. NHRA just tagged a couple of retards 10K each. Considering the deep pockets of the perp, 10k fine should be asessed. This Veruca Salt meme is lame. If there is no pain, it will happen again.

RIP

Too many reply's and too lazy to read them all. Why did he do stupid shyt? What did other guy do afterward?

Agree promoter is chicken shyt if does nothing about it,if it played out as most everyon here is saying it did.

It can solve itself, all it takes is honesty - reflection on Veruca's part.

Also, let's not pretend Veruca couldn't crash into Trey, if she wanted to.

You're such an idiot. It's about the young people having no respect whatsoever for rules and the truth. plain and simple. He lied and got away with it and could've injured or killed someone but that's ok with you.

Everyone knows it was a lie by the video. You ain't there, you don't know anything. Maybe the fact Veruca admitted she lied, kept her from being thrown out.

I might make that deal with Veruca, were I Randy, because ultimately nothing happened.

I've had people do stupid chit past the stripe in a rage because they lost, I never expected them thrown out, suspended. I didn't run to the authorities.

Burch's dad drove his front wheels of his dragster under my back bumper after beating him twice in one night Sunshine, I laughed my azz off!

If you're scared, you're in the wrong game.

I don't need to be there it's as clear as the cone in front of your face. If Randy can't see that then oh well don't complain when your car counts go in the toilet.

If the car counts dwindle it'll be because of the royalty (sarcasm) you voted for, offshored Merica to china. Not because Randy decided against ruining a young kids racing future by making a big deal of a young kid making poor decisions, of which we've all been guilty of at one time or another, some we got away with.

Hopefully the kid understands the stakes now, and cleans up his act.

I don't know him, but he doesn't look like a kid to me. I know he has many big checks. Good for him.

He Should have been booted for the rest of the weekend at the ****ing least on the **** he pulled. I'm a light weight but I would have came out swinging if he did that to me! I drag race to have fun and want to win every round but I could never see what he did as appropriate.

I'm sure NHRA has gotten word of what happened. Doubt he will be racing any nationals or divisional series for a while. He actually has a chance for the SC Championship. He ****ed that up.

He made the decision to try to wreck another car, now he should live with the suspension that he deserves!!! I'd ban him for 20+ years. Maybe he would mature by then.

I also lost respect for people defending his decision to try to wreck another car! You might be friends with him, but think if things went worse. Are you going to defend him if he killed his opponent because he lost? It could have been your kid!

What a piece of **** he is! Great driver evidently but immature and a hot head.

I hope he never gets to race again.

My 2 cents.

I just listened to Luke and Jed podcast. I'm very disappointed on there take on the Hunter situation. Granted, they said it was wrong but they said that "man" is a kid and made a mistake. Trying to wreck your opponent is not a mistake!

I hope Hunter the best of life since he is youngish but he's still a man. I have no respect for him or people that defend him. It was an ******* move. I understand that he apologized but thats easy after lying. I hope he gets suspended and eventually learns and moves on.

Disappointed with Luke and Jed and there take on it. Had it been Ferris Bueller trying to wreck an opponent after a loss, they and everyone would be going nuts!

I've ripped the throttle before after a win, it's not to degrade my opponent but just to celebrate the win. Gets thicker skin if you can't handle it. It's happened to me as well and I brush it off.

Again my 2 cents!

I’m surprised the dude that this happened to didn’t park his truck and trailer on the starting line and stop the show.

It’s the wild Wild West out there and unless you are a household name you get hanged.

Offended because the dude whomped the gas in the shutdown. No worries about the bull **** flickering the bulb that seems to be accepted. Works out well until it doesn’t. And then we see what happens.

It's unusual for any group to agree on anything these days. But both this group and the Yellowbullet reading on this are pretty much agreed that the kid at LEAST shouldn't have been allowed to complete this event. Heck some are going so far as a lifetime ban.

And somehow the promoter is on so much of a different page that the young man goes on racing.

Now I don't much buy into all the complaining about favoritism and house cars as a rule. But this one sure makes one wonder.

Its natural i guess for buddies to defend... Not surprised to be honest... There are a few Promoters in this page i would love to have there take on this...

How can anyone defend two maybe three wrongs?
You don’t, you take action to make sure it does not happen again.
JMHO...

Ain't no way NHRA will do anything. It might have occured at a NHRA track but it was not at a NHRA sanctioned event and no NHRA personnel were onsite to witness it.
It was 100% on the promoter of this event to do something and he didnt so its done

Jed was pretty clear that he would have tossed him for the weekend.

And while what Hunter did was dangerous and could have had an awful result, he was not trying to wreck his opponent.

Doesn't matter what is intent was... Punk ass move that could of ended in 2 completely destroyed race cars with possible injuries... And it all starts with these guys trying to get the other racer timed out with the bull**** steering wheel game... In real life when you do something as reckless as this there are repercussions for your actions... This case is NO different.. He deserves some form of punishment... Its insane that his defenders think because said sorry after lying about it that he gets a pass because everyone makes mistakes...

And that makes it ok for him to keep racing?

What WAS he trying to do and what DID he do?

I dunno. The more I think about it, maybe ejection from the event is far too mild. You want this to NEVER happen again? You want racers to think twice when their anger gets the best of them? Maybe this is the place to start.

He made contact. So even if his intention wasn’t to make contact, contact was made.

Maybe I might be looking at this wrong But If You Come Into MY MFing Lane and Hit My Dragster/car porpoisly because you lost, you should be banned!

Two people could have been killed because of his stupid ass actions. What does the mother say to the kids? "Daddy was killed because he gave a couple whomps after a win and the other driver decided he should make him pay with his life"!

I know that didn't happen but it could have.

I really can't believe someone would do that. You win like a man and lose like a man!

My 8 cents now.

His decision to do that after the loss, was a simple demonstration of moral character performed as in instinct driven act. It’s who these people are, they get though life with serious social game regardless of their physical actions and ethical values. The ones who I really lose respect for are those who interact/friend themselves with these types just for their own piece of that social circle. Its as if the changing generations of society thrive more on stature than personal values.

I only know what I read in this post, but if the facts are as posted….I would be in jail….period!
