Quick Pro Stock MC Q

[Furyous]

On watching 5US' excellent coverage of the NHRA series.

Why do all the pro stock bike riders get seemingly an inch from stage, assume the position, then get back up and look over their shoulder ?

I initially asummed they were checking for the other competitor, but it looks as if they are looking further back than that.

Any ideas ?

IIRC, checking with their crew chief to make sure all is ok..

I was told they did it to check all was ok and that they were setup straight?

[Furyous]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Just looks like they are waiting for their mum to say its ok.

Perhaps it was Angelle Sampey/Seeling/Savoie/Sampey checking the Diamond Vision screens to check what her name is this week?

She was most pi**ed off on last night's coverage when she stalled it

I've not caught the US coverage for a few weeks, was good to see John Force at the track even if he did look in considerable pain and needed a fair amount of support to stand.

There was me thinking she threw the race for Chip Ellis, giving the team she is rumoured to join next year a chance of winning the title...?

I don't follow it that closely to know what her surname is going to be next week never mind what team she is going to ride for.
