NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties

Jason Oldfield · 01-19-2011, 07:02 PM

"All teams will receive one oildown credit at the start of the 2011 NHRA national event season, however no further credits will be awarded during the season."

And, as per the NHRA website:

"COMP, SS, STOCK, SC, SG, SST, TD, & TS PENALTIES:
First violation of an event (after use of credit) will result in a two hundred fifty dollar ($250) fine, plus:" bla bla bla...

I guess that's better than it was, but it's still BS IMO to levy oildown fines against the competitors in Stk., S/S, S/C, S/G, and S/St...

While it's not common for sportsman cars to oil down the track, fines for index classes is like kicking someone when they're down for the count.

Yea, seeing how most of the NHRA's monies seem to come from the Sportsman racers.

Thus another reason I hope the racers at S.I.R. in Tucson this weekend will embrace IHRA into their track.....

The NHRA guys on here are NOT the problem. Realize you were firing for effect but all the NHRA guys I know deserve a raise (preferably out of the Pro and Compton's pockets).
