Herb--Don's dilemma I agree is worth talking about but not here--Who, what and why the supply is what it is ,the prices are what they are is not worth talking about on this site-- Yes there is a problem---But on the other hand did he have 300 gallons (or whatever it was) of banned nitro in his pit area??? Clearly a safety hazard for DSR racing employees as well as the general public. Did he use it in any DSR car that weekend ??? I hardly think so !!!! BUT the point NHRA (might be) is trying to make is the UNACCEPTABLE amount of nitro in his pit area. Because it is DSR and he has deep pockets not to be confused with your biker buddy who probably could not afford any type of a fine no matter how small/large they( NHRA) is going to make an example out of Don-- Also let's not forget the power struggle between Light and Schumacher Light wants to show who is in charge and Don is not going to put up with the BS.. End of story---

Now about all of the excess pit toys and irresponsible kids & parents joy riding around running hap hazaed all over the place there is a problem that needs to be addressed--NHRA has set down guidelines and if they are not followed I forsee a total ban of any motorized vehicles--Everybody is going to hafta use a truck/van/car to tow their racecars --Comp 387
