FIA Top Fuel Points

[JohnW]

With the points chase in FIA Top Fuel extremely close going into the final round, all points gained by the competitors will be crucial.
With 5 points available for the low e.t. of the event does this have to be an official backed-up record or the just the quickest e.t. over the weekend ?
For those needing a reminder of the points available go to

Scroll down to section 8.

Just the quickest ET of the weekend, it can be in qualifying or eliminations, no backup is needed.

Thanks Gary.

No.

Hockenheim was 1/4 mile. Santa Pod will be 1/4 mile.

And so it should be.....

I just wonder if (god forbid) a european TF driver had had the misfortune to be killed, in the UK or in europe, would the NHRA have instigated any safety rules brought in here?....

something tells me not

To put it into perspective, if you put Lex's five-point Championship lead onto the track it is equivalent to the last 0.7 seconds of a good Top Fuel run. Such a lead could also be wiped out in qualifying (I am not, of course, suggesting that Lex might qualify badly).

[snakehips]

You know that anoying bloke down the pub? You know the one. Opininion on eveything., not a good word for anyone. Never happier than when he's putting down everyone. A bit like that kid at school. The one your mum told you to ignore and he'd go away. Well i think he may be posting on here.

actually, to be correct it is - WHO IS

Whose or Who's?

Whose is the possessive form of who (or, occasionally, which). It means "belonging to whom or which."

Who's is a contraction of who is or who has. Notice the apostrophe replacing the missing letters.

Incorrect: Who's department do you work for?

Correct: Whose department do you work for?

Correct: Who's coming to visit tomorrow?

jon C said "august bodies above" could provide answers to my question

when i said "whose in charge next week" (given the grammatical error) i was being whimsical, seeing as next week it will be september....obviously i am aiming "too high" (metaphorically speaking)................

[BB-Q]

FFS- this is a small forum with a very select audience. Do we have to bicker so much? It really psses me off. I'm trying to glean as much info as possible from those in the know and some twunt wants to get all arguementative at any opporchancity.

[veryoldfart]

er, who is (sic) arguing?...

anyway, what was the question again?.....

I've proof-read the European Finals programme and it is in there, hopefully that will settle the argument
