Racer Suspension

[Toby Lang]

Wow. A $5000 fine. He can't race again until he pays the fine. Those are some expensive belts.

What benefit would it be to have fake certification tags?

The benefit would be to the person selling them. They can take old belts and sell them as new.

I highly doubt Bob would knowingly do something like this. Definitely not worth the trouble over a $50-100 item.

Looks like the fine and suspension was mainly because he didn't allow NHRA to confiscate the belts and the discussion between him and NHRA may have got a little heated.

Correct, but I was referring to after he serves the suspension. Maybe he will appeal and it will get reduced.

I hope after a cool down period. He appeals it and it gets reduced or taken away completely.
Bob is a great racer and a real nice guy. I'm sure there are 2 sides to this story.

What is this with the NHRA handing out X-tra large fines and suspensions eerily similar to Nascar...

Does anyone know any details about this?? $15k....



I don't think this is the future vision Wally Parks had for the sport!

C&P from YB. Probably very lucky he has the magic last name if this is true.

So at the Indy Divisional a friend of mine's rig is parked along the wall of the back stretch of the oval track there. Right near the outside of what would be turn three. I forgot what time, but let's call it 2am, my friends who were asleep in their rig heard "BANG!!!!" Woke up and thought someone had run into their motor home. They look out the window and there's a car out on the circle track that must have been racing or something, but anyway it had found itself into the wall so hard it deployed the airbags and appeared to have totaled the car. After a couple of minutes two occupants emerged, appearing to have been stunned by the impact &/or getting blasted in the face with airbags. Perhaps inebriated, they assessed their totaled car and abandoned it. Multiple officers to the scene, etc.

We were wondering who that was.......

Interesting that this wasn't posted in the NHRA.com racer section? Wonder why it was tucked in the corner of National Dragster?

If he was suspended for 3 months on the 28th of last month how is he racing at Norwalk this weekend. On DRC it shows him qualified #4 in Top Sportsman?
