1/2 of a cc small or big?
Coming up light on the scale?
Fuel not checking?

Is this for blatent rule infraction only?
If this is a new NHRA policy, they should explain what the fine structure is.
For how low the payouts have become, hitting racers with fines that almost double what the payouts are is pretty ballsy. If you want us gone just eleminate us from the races like modified and get it over with. Then we can all build cement mixer bracket cars.
I see that a racer got the suspension time cut down but the fine remained. Makes sense to me.
Get you back on the track quicker but pay through the nose. If they ever fine me $5000. I won't even give them another dime.
Maybe they think they have found another revenue stream. Like the insurance surcharge.

When I was young and stupid. I almost had an altercation with a tech guy. And I never believed in rolling on the ground or skinning my kunckles. My partner got me out of the state real quick (even left one of the people we took to the race at the track). A personal call later that week from an NHRA official calmed me down. He explained to me, we were not getting tossed for cheating but for being stupid. And he promised that guy would not do our car again.To this day I wish he was still working. He had common sense.
