Re: Please answer then Ill delete about Barton

Honest reply but I wonder if they spent the $2500.00 on some VHT or went for dinner on David? Since no one knows where any fine money goes the finers can just toss numbers out there at will. $100,000 to Don Shumacher for selling nitro at a fair price. Who pocketed that money?

If you are going to hand out fines they should be fair and reasonable and since no one got hurt or other expenses incurred then the money should go to a charity like DRAW and not the black hole called NHRA management.

Did I have a good reason? I thought so.

Do I regret it? Of course.

Was it unprofessional on my part? Absolutely. My emotions got the best of me.

Was NHRA unprofessional on their behalf? Yes, the track conditions should have been better, especially at a National Event.

Do I agree with the $2500 fine? Hell no. $500 would have been plenty.

Was it worth fighting? I didn't think so because I would have spent at least $2000 in wasting my time.

The part that bothers me the most is the way NHRA twisted the story. NHRA made it like I attacked the starter which is way off. He asked me what my problem was and I told him the track sucked with a few swear words. Anyway, it's all in the past. I'm looking forward to racing at Indy. I'll do my best to win my money back.

What a stand up guy!! David, your honesty and response speaks of your character. Now, go win some money back!! Best of luck and have a safe trip Indy experience.

Can't change the past, but sure can learn from it, let it be another motivator for you David to win rounds and your money back while having fun and staying safe.

You're a class act David.Hope you get it back in spades.If I still had my car I'd have a baby rattle hanging from the mirror prominent enough to be seen by our "new" national event starter.Maybe a Pamper taped to the rear window,for good measure.
