Racer Discussions with Race/Tech Officials

It happens. Just depends on how high up the ladder gets on your case. I never have been one to give Tech a hard time, but at one time I spoke my mind about NHRA. It ended up costing me for something I wrote on the net. Something that I thought was constructive criticism.
I was tossed at the next Divisional event. It was all trumped up. I was told by the two tech guys they were sorry but it came down from the top to find something wrong or make something up and toss me. It cost me a # 1 position and a National record. I was later told at that event if I kept up my internet conversations I would continue to have Tech issues.
That was the last NHRA event I have attended.
That is exactly why I am a keyboard racer, as dubbed by Mr. Bailey.
