NHRA Chief Starter Brad Hardy and multi-time funny car world
champion Matt Hagan join Brian Lohnes on the NHRA Insider Podcast.
The conversations are both very different. Starting with Hardy, he
discusses his role in the epic staging battle waged between Bruno
Massel and Mason McGaha last week in Topeka, Kansas. He talks about
the process, the communication, the inside information about what
was happening, and ultimately his decision to DQ both competitors
when they refused to stage on his orders. It is the first time we
have ever heard a starter talk about this stuff in-depth! The
second conversation is with Matt Hagan. He talks about the
tightness of the funny car points chase, the quality of the cars,
the approach he and his team are on, and yes, we delve into the
recent starting line controversies which have carried the
discussion week to week. A fun, informal, and informational chat
with a guy who is more than capable of collecting another world
championship.
