Kent, they gave us a folder as we came thur the gate with a complete price list.also they give you a form to fill out and it asks for your credit card #.you can rent a 5 gallon container for 15.00 and you return it and pay at the end.you cannot remove oil or filters from the track. Chuck had his car recert. And the guy that did it said you would see a big difference at the gators.

Does the $15 container rental fee include the oil disposal fee, or does the content of the 5 gal. can cost extra, and how much? Also, what is the cost of a oil filter disposal? And imagine what happens if your credit card # falls into the wrong hands....no good. Much thanks. WJ

Just change the oil inside the trailer... if anyone askes the old oil and filter was what you changed at Bradenton and have not had a chance to dispose of yet...

I can see NHRA pre planning a ticket fee increase and Im sure they will blame it all on the new EPA rules that the teams have to absorb the expences of..

what is going to keep people from putting the old oil back in the containers, get a trash bag, put the containers and old filter in it and just toss it in the trash?, i thought that is why they put oil barrels at races so this would not happen... boy they really make me want to pull the ol' sewage valve while leaving, showing my appreciation. oh yea, and if i'm going to pay for an oildown, i'm going all the way down the track maybe even both lanes, i want my hard earned money's worth. NHRA, thanks for your racer support!!!!

It would be nice if NHRA would post the forms they are passing out at the track. This way you know what you are getting into.

I emailed the company on the bottom of the video to find out about the various approved containers we could use but I have not heard back from them yet.

Jason, LOL why didnt I think of that , your are absolutly right.

Kent,

This sounds like a job for the SRAC !! Hopefully you guys can map out a sensible course of action that accommodates everyone.

I think that when the EPA gets involved there is NOT a sensible course of action.

The Green Police were actually standing on top of trailers and using Binoculars to locate "infractions" at Gainesville this weekend.

This could very well be the beginning of a bunch of new fees and taxes for racers and race tracks.

There were a group of kids going from trailer to trailer asking for used parts and autographs.... give them your used oil filter and/or empty brake clean cans!

Can anyone explain why I have to pay to dispose of my oil/filter at the track and I can't leave a race with it carefully stored in my trailer, but I can walk into almost any auto parts store and just toss it in there for free?

Why is it that you can TRANSPORT IT INTO THE TRACK!?!? If you're not qualified to transport oil, you're not qualified, period. This is just a crock. Just like the oil down penalties.

Anyone want to bet that wheel tethers are next for us?!?!?
