I'm sorry, but saying you made a mistake or didn't know, doesn't exonerate you from punishment. At worst I would have expected NHRA to say, off the record, "pick your poison", 6-12 months or the HP, something! Maybe there was a bias due to the assembler??? I know if it would have been a hand full of other engine builders, the outcome would not have been the same, just guessing. Next time, if you don't know what's under your hood and don't wanna take the consequences of putting trust in your assembler, DUMP @ the 1000' every time! Not hard, half the guys out there do it.
I think you may be getting ahead of the story! The racer at the Dutch was told that he would be receiving a letter from Glendora. And, the content of that letter is between the racer and nhra. A racer never gets his/her dose of "poison" at the race.
