If it is a 350/255 the cold air hood is no longer legal.....

Again, that is an old picture. The car is now white with black stripes, instead of orange stripes, Don sent pictures a while back. If it had the cowl induction hood, odds are, he'd have never gotten far enough to have the lift and the carburetor checked.

To address your previous post about "sending a message", if that is their intent, they're ill advised to arbitrarily pick someone and levy an excessive fine to send a message. It would not be a smart move, unless of course, their intent is to completely alienate the sportsman racers.

I agree with you Alan but NHRA has made many decisions that alienate US over the years and as a Sportsman racer we are all in the same boat here.....I think it is totally unfair to fine someone like this just for what appears to be some minor infractions.

In the mean time the national & divisional car counts at most NHRA events continue to fall. 49 Stockers & ONLY 36 Super Stockers at this weeks Atlanta national event.

Me thinks NHRA would be just fine to see us go by the wayside in the end. They may just get their wish...always someone else out there to take up the slack.

If a racer was given an annual suspension from an infraction at a National event, would his local track have to bar him from bracket racing for the rest of the suspension period, too?

It's across the board, look at the Atlanta Pro numbers. If the Johnsons weren't racing at their home track they would only have 14 Pro Stockers. That said, unless NHRA discloses their "new" criteria for penalizing sportsmen racers by fines it might be wise to for each of us to ask our SRAC reps for them to pursue the matter; otherwise Class Numbers are headed to the Competition Elim. numbers. I plan on emailing my rep as well as Divisional Director.

Also look at the quotas ,rather low

It comes to a point where no matter how accurate the testing the equipment, the sanctioning body, (in any sport) has to quit measureing
to such a minuit fraction.
There are too many other variables in the atmosphere.
As has been stated in other posts, temperature, dust, etc.



Some times there is a tie.
