Face it, if you were racing someone and during tear down, they had even a thou too much lift,,,,,,the case could be made that they are illegal....NHRA can't say "that is close enough". They have to draw the line....it makes no difference how nice the guy is or how close the infraction is (I have been DQ'd for a half cc in the combustion chamber). The line NHRA has to follow is what is in the Spec sheet.........the fine is uncalled for......same as an "oil down" fine.

Well said, rules are rules but the fines are ridiculous. I agree with what someone posted earlier that they are not checking as often so they are deciding to use the fines as scare tactics. I think I will just keep the majority of my business with IHRA. Sounds much cheaper to race with them.
