We now know how much it cost to walk up the track at Atlanta. How much it cost to complain about the starting line during the Factory Showdown race. In the rule book it list cost of protest and how the moneys are divided. We as racers know how much power a racer will receive if they go -1.20 under the index, a 3.25% increase; -1.30 under is a 4.25% increase; and so on until the last number listed is an 18.25% increase. It would be great if everyone is aware of the cost of an infractions.

Is NHRA looking for income? Some say yes! If NHRA suspends a racer for a year they lose income from that racer for a year. Six nationals and eight divisionals. Those sneaky bean counters are always looking for more beans to count.

Is NHRA looking for racers that stretch the rules?

Is NHRA looking to issue traffic tickets. You know, 10 over, pay a fine OR lose your license for 30 days. 20 over pay a fine OR lose your license for 60 days.

Racers are consumers, and consumers are always looking at value for dollars spent. If the value declines, everyone knows the outcome!
