Transponders had to be used to determine the winner
No Thornton won that race very close but Thornton DID win
What a race! Race of the year so far!!!
Good runs for Babb, Unzicker and Feger.
lol actually, he DID NOT win. The winner gets a trophy and the check for winning.Quote:

I think at the time they passed the camera Thornton was ahead, but on the top side Sheppard was probably 10-15mph faster and got ahead right at the line.
Kind of like a sprinter sticking his neck out at the last minute to win it.......like Thornton , not a fan of Mark Richards but bshepp won it IMO.
If it's up to woo officials and it's that close who do u think is going to get the win it was very difficult to watch and tell for sure imo thorten won I'm done
Cant believe i missed this one sitting in my favorite seat at the Mississippi valley fair grounds. Just a short drive over the bridge, west down river drive then north to Locust street. This was a truly great race on the small track. Tonight will separate the men from the boys. The challenge....the big and fast half mile. The Kosiskis's, Birky, Mars and Darren Miller have dominated the half mile in years past.
You need to adjust the antenna on your tin foil hat. Transponders do not lie.Quote:

Originally I thought Thornton was going to win it, but that outside groove carried more momentum. It was the angle of the camera that made it look like Thornton won. Either way, it was a hell of a race. Best I've seen on the 1/4 mile. A big shout out to the track prep crew.
