Come on guys, you know NHRA is never going to budget for rule enforcement the way want it.
So, quit waiting for someone else to do it and let's do it ourselves (Just like running heads up during practice at points races.) I suggest we consider putting more teeth into the protest/teardown rules, but NHRA must represent racer's money well.
*Racers know who and how they are cheating.
*Racers need to have their protest money well represented.
*Sanctioning body must not pick and choose. Make a standard policy and stick to it.
*Sanctioning body must represent racer's money well (or the program fails).
*Rules must be definite for protest consideration, that is, upon a protest, there must be a clear understanding of what is and what is not a violation of the rules.
*Protest fees must be raised in order to provide enough deterrent and enough funds for proper evaluations. Significant money paid to Fees paid to tech department for staffing, money for administrating, money for outside opinions, arbitration, confiscation.
*Dollar fines paid to protester an NHRA tech department (open book, not for profit) for cheaters to maintain the program.
*Did I say Sanctioning body must represent our money well?
Other thoughts/ideas invited.
Put up or Shut up! (in a nice warm/fuzzy kind of way)

PS. Racer must need our money well represented!
