Do you think Bob wanted to keep the belts to go back to the manufacturer with the problem. Had he given them up he would have no proof. Are you required to surrender these parts?

They've been known to cut belts out of cars; about 4 years ago a racer (not stock or super stock) failed tech for outdated belts, then went thru tech with borrowed belts and was then caught with the old belts back in. Some of the D2 racers may remember getting your Q time slip and then being pulled over to have belts checked. In this instance the racer was DQ'd for the race but returned to action at a subsequent race. My only point is there must have been 'animated conversation' surrounding the incident and whomever to blame Bob and Bugs are going to pay the price.

If the reason the racer was unwilling to hand over the belts to NHRA was to have something to return for refund to who he gave is hard earned dollar; the racer has the right to do so.

If NHRA wanted the belts to investigate the counterfeiter they should have offered to reimburse the racer his monetary loss or supply him with a valid set of belts.

If the racer immediately purchased and replaced his belts, had not passed tech NHRA morally has no ground to suspend or fine.
There may be something in the rules but racers pay good money for membership and race entry therefore NHRA should have that in mind. Who are the customers?

This looks like pay-back for something Bob may have gotten away with in the past ... We should wait to hear Bob's side before we start casting doubt's ... Bob & Bugs are good people and don't deserved to be judged by any of us at this time... Let's wait and see, Who's next ???
