I don't have an interest in seeing anyone get a vacation from racing but.....cheating is cheating. If you get told something is illegal....lets just say your throttle body was deemed illegal after a class win and going more than 1.20 under. What kind of penalty should be implied? Serious question. In this instance it seems the racer was DQed from that race, no HP was given and racer is participating at the next race. Now...on that question. SInce the infraction was actually in class eliminations which technically was Class for the Gators and not the actual Div race but the penalty was implied to the Div race. I am just lost on where NHRA stands on penalties for cheating. YES, everybody pushes the grey area in the Rule Book. Remember....its not cheating unless you get caught....or that's what I am told lol. Like MJ said, if you get caught, take it like a man because ultimately you knew it was wrong. So what should be the penalty be?
