I love how NHRA wants to act like they are "supporting" the sportsman racer then place a $1000.00 fine on an honest racer who has made an unintentional mistake that most of us have made, but without a fine. As stated, there should be a "pre warning" or a post of the available fines for such actions. Even then, the argument will be, "why the fines now and not before". .007 is a very small amount and like Mark Lewis stated, could be a number of small things. I talked with Don the day this happened and encouraged him to have them check this with his lifter or check it himself so he could have an argument about "their" system not being fair to the racer (being there could be variances in their lifter and ours) NHRA should be ashamed of themselves for posting this fine on a web sight and not notifying the driver first. He should at least have been told this at the track right after the DQ. And you wonder why your car count keeps decreasing......
