Default Re: NHRA rules for everyone but STEVE TORRANCE

NHRA posted "We are evaluating the matter and any potential penalties will be assessed after a thorough review".NHRA has to be aware of whatever penalties are given (if any) it will set a precedent for future similar incidents in all classes.They may just impose a"big fine" and a public apology which would not be acceptable.Have to see how it plays out...gsa612

Yeah, a big fine to a millionaire family that just won a half million probably won't mean much to ST, just like his "apology" doesn't hold much water, either.

NHRA posted about their “disappointment” over the incident, but apparently not so much that they stop posting promotional videos about it. Gimme a break, they’re pondering the precedent set by it when if a sportsman behaves similarly the precedent is already established, DQ’d on the spot.

Well, consider that if NHRA decides to impose a fine, they get to keep the money, that might motivate them...

The NHRA awards ceremony was today,I wonder if he received his Championship Wally.By rights it should be held pending on the findings of NHRA's "thorough review" of the incident.And after the review is complete that they still deem him worthy of being a "Champion"...gsa612
