Well ! Good for NHRA !
Excessive braking is a big issue and needs to be addressed on a regular basis.
If you kill it on the breaks and hit me I promise you the beating of your Stupid Life.
How Dumb can someone be hitting the breaks that hard to smokem up. If your going that fast learn to dial your Car and keep others Safe in the meantime.

I haven't spoken with Jon ...but he runs a .90 series in WNY and I have never known him to be hard on the binders. I wonder if something locked up on the car??

I cannot agree with you more Chuck. If more would be DQ'd then maybe it would make more racers dial there cars honest…

Re: Norwalk SG DQ
 

How would you determine excessive braking, and how would you police it. I have seen it done for years, some racers don't want to jeporadize themselves, and race with out getting on the brakes. Others do it, and that is how they race. I am with Chuck, about what would happen after the fact. But if it ever happened to me, I would be done, and just happy to survive. Remember seeing a photo of a super gas going through the lights and smoke coming off his tires, a couple of years ago, and no one said it was excessive. I think it depends on who you are, and what you get away with.

What do they consider excessive? I would say just to be safe that any time, any of your tires stop turning from 60 ft prior to, and 60 ft after the finish line stripe. And allow anyone's finish line video to confirm said infraction as long as it's prior to the next round. Just get to an Official to confirm that the incident is under official review. If you get caught, they sit you down for the season. It's a little harsh but if you want to fix it.....fix it! Get this under control so someone does'nt have to quit racing because they destroyed their car or killed themselves. I f you can throw someone out for a year for a few thou on the crankshaft or heads etc.....you should have no problem tossing them for a dangerous safety infraction at 100 MPH
