Todd had issues and a new motor & combo. That alone could have been a problem like a turbo not spooled properly. Those small cube motors with big turbos can be a big issue. Or like Adam in Shocker not turning the nitrous on. Those kinds of things are gonna ruin a pass.
Same with these cars that make HUGE power trying to hook on a poorly prepped surface. You can only turn them down so far. As I said, they wanted Jerry in the Probe to run on motor alone. Thinking it could still cover the competition with a fast A to B pass. But I bet most of them don't have many N/A tunes. They are set to run on nitrous. So running n/a could be a gamble.
But ya, I think the editing helped hide any complaints, objections, and problems NOLA may have voiced. But then again, maybe they were paid enough to lay down and not care. In the name on JJ and crew keep winning on the show. Money can win out over many things. Including pride. So who knows what really happened.
