Fines this year?

[novassdude]

Seen on a show today a Indy car driver got a $30,000 fine for flipping off a competitor that wrecked him.

Just what has been levied for fines that is out of place? Do the crime, do the time.

Fighting in the Pro pits about someone's wife? Not very professional.

Stopping your car on track to yell at the track personnel? Not very bright.

Refusing to turn over a part being questioned? Might as well plead guilty.

If you don't like the NHRA's rules, pack your toys up and go run IHRA or ADRL.

Yes, it's really that simple.

How about when they want to take a part you know darn well is legal?
Not that simple is it?
And yes I sold the car and will never ever race a stocker or regular superstocker again.

Were you levied a fine this year because they took your legal part?

That is your original complaint, isn't it, the fines this year?

Glad to hear you've quit again. If more people did instead of endless whining on the Internet maybe the NHRA would listen.

Glad to hear you can't read. I was talking about in 2002 with a Stocker. No fine because the part was 100% legal. It still cost me the entry fee and expences. NHRA tech squad is not always right.
Someday you might try to build a car and have to put up with NHRA. Till then, keep those fingers well lubed.
If you open this link you will see that I'm still racing.

Unless you want to buy the car?

If this is a new policy they should at least lay it out.

Will they fine you for the cam lift checking .001 to the bad?
1/2 of a cc small or big?
Coming up light on the scale?
Fuel not checking?

Is this for blatent rule infraction only?
If this is a new NHRA policy, they should explain what the fine structure is.
For how low the payouts have become, hitting racers with fines that almost double what the payouts are is pretty ballsy. If you want us gone just eleminate us from the races like modified and get it over with. Then we can all build cement mixer bracket cars.
