John was already under the gun from all the other Funny car drivers for alledgedly talking the NHRA into manipulating the "4 test only" rule earlier in the season from their original rules laid out. So he basically was a target already & then this! I was there, it was obvious. His choice yes, but in no way the right way to play. It was good to see Ashley win, but this definitly took alot away from it. I used to have respect for him. As a person, not much now. His career & things he's accomplished, you can't take that lightly. I just hope NHRA does something, because they're losing this game by their own actions. It was obvious in the crowd & the overall feel of what's to be the biggest race of the year. It just wasn't the same anyway you looked at it.
