The point is that any racer should be in full race gear, if required, before he or she races. At Pacific Raceway there is a blue line at the head of staging. The only time a racer can be out of his/her gear, after crossing that line, is if there is a time out on the race track. Oildown, rain or broken race car being removed, etc.
Yes the non use of proper gear didn't change the out come of the race, but ALL racers should conform to the rules or what good is the rule book. Especially for the safety gear/clothing part. I believe NHRA was founded for safe racing for all.
