I can't help but wonder how NHRA would've handled it if, when Stock/SS were called to the lanes, all the competitors drove right past the staging director and parked on the track in protest.

Just curious, does anyone know what they do with the money that is collected for these fines that they are levying on these racers?

Probably a fine and a 1 year suspension. The first problem you would have is some wouldn't have the guts(ill use that word) to do it. If you think I wouldn't you don't know me to well.

IF the fine and apology aren't reversed before the national event at Maple Grove, THIS^^^^ is what needs to happen but we all know will not because racers don't stick together, are afraid of repercusion from the NHRA and THIS is why you are treated like the filler you are at National events.

You guys need to stand with David and make your voice heard by hurting their bottomline!!!!!

David sorry about you being fined thanks for speaking up.Now lets be real.NHRA dosent care about how many people boycott an event,there gonna run the class weather they have 80 cars 0r 10.Ed about being sheep this is the arena we race ..The track is the same for everyone fair or not..Most of the BOYCOTTERS don't have adog in the fight..
We aren't sheep we are Class racers....Jump in the water is warm..
