Re: Appeal Results - Nice!
NHRA did the right thing by refunding the fine and inspecting at next event. I suspect they read the forums and realized the troops are banding together. Any fine process should be progressive just like the criminal justice system. Tech inspectors have more important issues then a very minor infraction. Lets go over safety issues instead and enforce current rules in place.

Re: Appeal Results - Nice!
The position previously held by NHRA was indefensible due to the fact that they used improper equipment to check the camshaft. Whomever the tech official was that checked the cam with a hydraulic lifter should be either retrained, fired or be delegated to parking enforcement from now on. Any competent attorney could have torn the NHRA up on just that part of the "violation". Once Glendora saw the discussion on here they went into the CYA mode. Oh yes they do read this site! I can personally attest to this. Congrats to Don Davidson. Also after a discussion with Don about his carburetor I do not believe it was illegal either.
This overall was a good move by the NHRA. They had two paths, ignore the appeal and insurmountable opinions by very knowledgeable racers, or do what they did. They chose the correct course. Now all they have to do is make sure their Tech Officials are properly trained in the particular job they do and make sure the equipment is the correct tool for the job and is checked and certified periodically. Simple right? Jim .

Re: Appeal Results - Nice!
Anyone who knows Don, knows there was more to this alleged infraction than what was reported. The simple fact is Don will not cheat. I'm glad to see NHRA repealed the penalty.

Re: Appeal Results - Nice!
I don't think I have ever seen this before. Happy for Mr. Davidson
Don Davidson Appeal NHRA modified the action taken against participant Don Davidson in light of the materials submitted by Mr. Davidson and NHRA’s further investigation. The May 2-4, 2014 Lucas Oil event at Texas Motorplex will not be counted against his quota; the $1,000 fine is rescinded; the appeal fee will be refunded; the vehicle will be inspected (including camshaft and carburetor) at the next NHRA-sanctioned event attends.
