But if you showed up to back of staging lanes last year without one you felt foolish.

I'm hoping there is a little tolerance because some people are pitted right there at back of the lanes and some are much further away... and it is Indy.

If the NHRA is going to ignore the rulebook for Indy, they should post it on their site in advance.

I knew that was coming lol

Like I tried to say I think there have been some allowances concerning cooling at Indy for reasons I've already stated.

Believe me if you bring a fast car to Indy you have more of chance of proving it's legal than probably all the other events combined. It's not a conspiracy it's a judgment to try to be fair.

My issue is that these "allowances" are not in the rules.

Which is why I feel that the rulebook should be sacred.

How can it be fair to allow racers to defy the rules at the expense of the guy in the other lane that is following the rules? What if the tech guys running the staging allowed a breach for one competitor but enforced a rule that they had misinterpreted for the other racer?

Nice to see that some folks have a new found appreciation for fairness. Very refreshing.

Oh no, not really. I'm just delighted to see that you do understand the concept of fairness after all.

Mr Gump
I respectfully think you are taking the chiller issue to far plus we are boh guilty of hi jacking this thread

I'm sorry I don't know who you are so I am not being condescending when I explain what actually happens at Indy.

If a racer is pitted a long way out he takes his chiller and his car to a friends pit spot who is closer and chills there. Then it starts clogging up as racers are on road in front of some other categories pit spot .

Nhra does not have the manpower or
I'm sure the inclination to verify whether racers are actually in there spot or not so it has evolved into people chilling in front of all the spots from back of staging lanes.

My post was that in the spirit of speeding things up( the original theme of this thread)
we should allow chilling in the staging lanes.

It really doesn't matter to me that much. I'll still chill in my auxiliary pit spot.

Great discussion. I'll give you the last word, I'm out.
