Question----- If you fail to pass fuel check, can you appeal and have them recheck the sample or draw another sample right there and then ?

The pisser is that I am waiting to watch NHRA drag racing on ESPN2 right now

I have said it before there is nothing they can do to make us quit we are addicted and there is no cure

We learn not to expect rational intelligent thought when NHRA makes a decision

Fuel check has been a s#*show at lots of events, and I can say with confidence that the fuel test machine was most likely not properly sanitized or neutralized, whatever you wanna call it. Slightly similar event, we were at Belle Rose for the Sportsnaionals and after winning the first round of the CIC race we were DQ'd for being too light; however we had made over five passes that week and were VERY HEAVY! When my brother told them that it was impossible he was told to start his car and leave immediately. Pissed off, once I found out, I went to the scales and lost it on the official and he then, all the sudden, had an epiphany noticing that lots of cars were weighing light and called all "wining cars" back to weight. Don't you know, everybody weighed in right! Just my 2cents.

If the fuel test machine was "not properly sanitized or neutralized", how were all the other racers in Stock, Super Stock, Comp, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike passing fuel check? Everyone else passed fuel check the round Cour was DQ'd.

I've never known anybody to have a problem passing with C11, C12 is another story. Sure he was using C11?

That's what I heard, might be wrong! And I've never heard about C-12 having issues? VP might wanna start making a fuel that can at least last the weekend at the fuel check, lol!

Never a problem with C11, but you shouldn't take C12 on an empty stomach. It will certainly cause problems at the trailer.

You can ask, however there is a 99% chance they will say no. I would say it depends on who is checking the fuel and what kind of mood they are in. Jim
