Thornton got the shaft tonight

[Jim11h]

Various rules of mounting location per different sanctions. Motor plate my personal opinion the best safest place. On lf bumber just asking to be destroyed in accident. Rear-end moves differently per setup so a stationary object best. Nothing perfect or fool proof but some ways yield most consistent results

Transponders are great for qualifying and getting cars in order after a caution. A camera at the finish line should determine the winner!

Wonder if Rick E. got the memo from the WOO brass saying, “Don’t announce who won the race until we tell you who won the race”. 😃😃😃

.007 of a second. Using the eyeball test, the guy with a longer front bumper will win every time.

That's supposed to be checked by rule. There is a measurement. Lol

[chopter]

flagman should have been watching and realized there was a problem with the transponders if it gave shep the win.

[riddle28]

they should always be racing to the stand, not a cable buried in the ground. they screwed ricky big time, second one this year big blue has bought

[Highside Hustler25]

I'm seeing a whole lot of butt hurt whiners. Get over it. Sheppy won.

Do you realize how angles alter pictures?

Fasttalk on DoD it was said that his transponder was not located in the right spot. Idk.. This finish may be talked about for a while.

Reminds me of the telescoping deck heights a few years back. Lol

Ricky has stated such on Facebook. He has said that the transponder on the 20RT was mounted on the mid plate where as Sheppy's was mounted on the left front bumper bar. Ricky also stated that it was their mistake not having it mounted where the World of Outlaws guys have theirs mounted. He chalked it up as a learning experience. Great to see him running up front with these guys. Hopefully, someone will give him a fulltime opportunity in a Late Model.

@MB_racer fact check me on this, but assuming they are going 80mph (probably a gross overestimation), .007 seconds is about 10 inches according to my math. RT definitely crossed first if the blue 1 had it on the nose and Ricky had it on the midplate

While you may be right the argument could be made that rtj transponder was not in the correct location their for he is disqualified. The rule doesn't state where it's allowed to be as in options. It's where it has to be that way this sort of thing doesent happen. I'm glad rtj isn't pushing the point because he understands that they made a mistake not anyone else. At this point its just beating a dead horse though

Chances are if he's in position to only lose this closely, he'll be picking up wins here and there too.

Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.
