I get what you are saying James ,but i just don't see in the rule book if you get caught towing to the lanes you have to drive back to the pits and drive back up it says towing to the lanes is prohibited which to me means not legal. So not sure how they would handle it, and I'm guessing its up to the official at the time of the infraction. And like Shane said I wish NHRA would follow its own rules no matter who you are a beginner or a pro shouldn't matter a rule is a rule and if broken you should pay the consequences end of story!
Like if I'm 10 pounds light at the scale can I go back to my trailer add weight and drive back and weigh? May as well if all you have to do when you get caught towing is go drive back and forth
. If you get caught towing up you can drive back to the trailer thats fine but you should stay there! Maybe prohibited means something else ?? idk lol
