At Indy I observed a class car with a 9.9something dial get stopped at the staring line during eliminations and the starter opened the door and asked where the drivers gloves were. The dial was immediately changed to 10.00 by the starter to the tower and the car allowed to run.
We are all big boys and girls. Shame on us for not complying with the rules.

So now NHRA wants to worry about a passenger seat that nobody rides in ..... how about some competent tech persons / observers !
