Ok then tell me why?????

[Michael Beard]

Well its been a week, no reply at all from IHRA is this just going to be swept under the rug?
If, and I stress IF this was an electronics being found issue, and nothing is done other than a DQ, than I would say this was a cowardly act on IHRA's part not to hold said racer accountable and keep a fair and honest playing field for everyone. To me that type of infraction is the same intent as steeling from other competitors. either way, we should know why the DQ.

That's exactly what I was saying. Just because they don't announce something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Robert Staton was suspended indefinitely (http://www.ihra.com/competition/comp...t/category/200) many years ago. I was working for IHRA at the time and physically held his homemade delay device in my hand. If this was a similar incident and not dealt with in the same fashion, then it constitutes a MAJOR problem.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Rules are rules.

With proper rules enforcement, car counts go UP. They have been more proactive in the last year or two, and car counts have been going up. Piedmont, Richmond, and Farmington were all strong events.
