In St.Louis we saw that the judges are blind. How does Thorne make a mistake in the chaser transition and still move into the top 16?

[@Vert344]

Dunno how you can say that?? The first battle they were both dead nuts even. The only mistake both had on the first battle was both went 1 tire over the line in the final outter zone at the finish. Thus determining the OMT.
In the second battle James drops a tire in OZ1 in his lead and over shoots past the zone and gets stuck at angle. Thus pinching off the chase car leaving him with no where to go. The slight correction from Thorne transitioning into OZ2 is due to James mistake in the lead. He also made the same mistake again in the last Outterzone of Dropping a tire over the line before/through the finish.
I mean its pretty obvious... I dunno how people don't view James mistake as a MISTAKE and still try to put Thorne at fault. I swear they act like James can do no wrong.
Like c'mon... if the roles were reversed people would be SCREECHING that Thorne Dropped a tire, then parked it in front of James leaving him no where to go. But when James makes the mistake people are like "Its just angle and who cares if he went wide he still made the next zone."
People criticize the judges rightfully so, but this was indeed the correct call.

[@sr-Chewy]

@@Vert344I do agree that there is some bias between the drivers, which ultimately leads to some “odd” judging calls. It’s all Favoritism.

[@SaleenDrift]

Next season he is coming for blood. He got short changed quite a bit in 2023. Whether you are a fan or not, it was pretty obvious.

[@porcelain2363]

Deane driving a new car vs aasbo is very impressive, with the least amount of seat time in the mustang? Come on

[@busterboy6788]
