Default Re: NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties

Keith, you may have the wrong mindset here. First I've never met a racer that intended on oiling the track, that's just bad manners, second to intentionally run over a spectator is just plain STUPID!!!! Remeber we are "SPORTSMAN" racers and we are expected to conduct ourselves as such. Next we as many do bring our dogs with us, we walk them and clean up after them, we prefer to have them with us versus boarding them. I have never had anyone ask me to please not bring my dog to their pit area. I believe that the number of sportsman racers affected by this is going to be minimal, not saying I think it's fair or right mainly because I've NEVER heard of a local track fining their racers for oiling the track. Cleaning the track of debris is part of conducting business, I'm sure the track owner would rather not have to do it, however to conduct his business he has to eat the expense. Everyone on here complaining of this does have a choice..... they don't have to race these events. Lack of participation will certainly get their attention. Joe
