And the penalties are???

[Shadylane]

I have a bit of a different take on this. We have complained for several years that NHRA is not doing tech the way we think it should be done, which I agree with. However when they do their job as is the case with Mr. Summers and Mr. Phillips a lot of people are upset not by the results of the inspection but by the penalty’s involved.
In the case of Mr. Summers did NHRA overreact? We have read what NHRA posted, his carburetor was modified. What does that mean? I wasn’t there during the inspection and I would guess neither were any of you, with the exception of Mr. Summers. He posted on this forum that his carb booster was too shiny. Kind of sounded to me like he was down playing it, like it was no big deal. Maybe I would do the same to save face. Was there more to it than that? Obviously NHRA thought so, combined with a previous violation they finally made a statement by putting some teeth into their tech inspection and subsequent violation and it has not been well received. I think what NHRA has done is what we have asked them to do, taking care of business.
Maybe I’m missing something here.
