Although I agree with you completely, we are dealing with the 21ST Century NHRA.

I'm just a bored casual observer....BUT as Billy says this is the modern version of NHRA racing and for the most part has been for quite some time

They do have a rule book but not much in the way of desire or personnel to enforce every infraction

They just want their "show" to go on and move on to the next one....

Entertaining the paying customers is at the top of the list.....Sportsman racing is nothing more than time filler.....

Face it, many of the real racers have supported the NHRA for years thru the Sportsman Classes, but the governing body aka NHRA could care less, it is all about the JOHN FORCES- DON SCHUMACHER- of the sport now...it as become a sport where the Sportsman classes pay for the others , you get forced into poor pits, maybe 2 time runs in terrible conditions, etc, but most still love the sportand that is a good thing, but if you let someone get away with a warning at a National Event, where it is suppose to be the premier race with a warning is just stupid, if it happened at a Divisional , the driver was warned, put on notice to get corrected before his next event is one thing, but not at a National event, we can dispute this all day but wrong is wrong, he broke the rules, same as being light at scales , fuel not checking etc, the tech guys should have got him on the topend......
