It was Mike Brown's TA. It looks like a clock problem. They've also only gone 8.4x on two passes so far after that. I'm sure they can comment further. But if I were them I would claim the title quickly!

Yea, I saw that Harlan ran an 8.29@166. That's crazy, I'm sure that there are a few people gunning for 7s this weekend.

what the hell are the chances of that happening, can you imagine how excited the guys were to see the bulbs light up 7.9 then be told it was a malfunction

Sounds to me he got the ole' mop in the light trick...I do that to the idiots that dont listen at the track. Its really funny to see a big nasty burnout from a slow *** import and then see them light up the boards a fulls econd faster then they have ever been and come back and do an even bigger burnout only to go slower!!! Its soo funny but sucks that someone might have tampered with the clocks for them....What did it say the reaction time was on his slip.
