[1320racer]

it's the battered class racer syndrome...

The racer has an inability to place the responsibility for poor track conditions, schedule, pit parking, payout, elsewhere.

The racer fears that if he complains/protests he will be fined, suspended and forced to appologize to the official(s)

The racer thinks that the reason he did not hook was his fault/his car's fault.

The racer has an irrational belief that the NHRA, Division Director, track officals are omnipresent and omniscient.

and finally the racer feels that if he boycotts national events, the other battered racers will look down upon him, talk negatively about him and expel him from their click.
