So at the Indy Divisional a friend of mine's rig is parked along the wall of the back stretch of the oval track there. Right near the outside of what would be turn three. I forgot what time, but let's call it 2am, my friends who were asleep in their rig heard "BANG!!!!" Woke up and thought someone had run into their motor home. They look out the window and there's a car out on the circle track that must have been racing or something, but anyway it had found itself into the wall so hard it deployed the airbags and appeared to have totaled the car. After a couple of minutes two occupants emerged, appearing to have been stunned by the impact &/or getting blasted in the face with airbags. Perhaps inebriated, they assessed their totaled car and abandoned it. Multiple officers to the scene, etc.

We were wondering who that was.......

I think Toby may have gotten it correct. NHRA and SFI take counterfeiting those tags seriously. Bob should probably have simply given up the bogus belts and told the tech dept where he bought them. NHRA and SFI could have followed up on it from there. It makes one wonder why he did not want to give up the belts.

Do you think Bob wanted to keep the belts to go back to the manufacturer with the problem. Had he given them up he would have no proof. Are you required to surrender these parts?
