Any bets on Gary paying the fine. I don’t think so. NHRA killed that cash cow. Give him a little time off and NHRA has a chance he might return.

Larry, I think You are right.
These fines to sportsmen are not the same as the fines to professionals.
The Pro's have it covered with sponsors or in their budget.
The Mom and Pop racer is already hitting the retirement 401K hard just to get to the track.
The sportsman fine could be taking food off the table or the kids college fund.
NHRA needs to rethink that.
There is a better way for the NHRA police to enforce the rules.
BTW I'm like Billy. If I ever got a monetary fine I would pack it in.
In my last retirement period (since 2010) from NHRA I have found a lot of things to do that are as satisfying and as personally challenging as the races.
I've spent a lot of time flying my planes and working on them.
I think it is actually quite a bit cheaper than what I spent racing & the family enjoys it more.

In your (everyone) opinion, does this QFT Stock/Super Stock legal carb have "polished" boosters?

YES.
It does appear to have a polished finish. It looks like a tumble deburr machine, or a Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine with a mid size XM media. Or what theyre calling REM finishing. IMHO.

That's not even the right carburetor. Summer's is 2 barrel.

But, if that is an approved nhra carburetor, and it "Appears" to have polished boosters, why would Summer's be illegal?

BUT, replacement carbs are legal. For some applications within stock, a replacement QFT is legal. Holley makes a replacement 2bbl carb. Thats as much as I'm sayin. One of my cars uses a carb similar to the Summers application.

Don't they charge you to file an appeal?

I'd be willing to donate to that cause.

There is an appeal process and you and car owner cannot compete at any NHRA EVENT OR SANCTIONED TRACK until the appeal is done. So most take the penalty and move on.
