The levied action against Don Davidson during the teardown process at the D-4 race at the Texas Motorplex by NHRA has been cancelled and Davidson's name has been completely cleared! Finally!
The $1000.00 fine is rescinded and the disciplinary action has been dropped. The $1000.00 appeal fee will also be refunded.
Don would like to thank everyone who supported him during this appeal process including Jim Lewis and Jim Boburka as well as a very special thanks to Wesley Roberson.

Wesley is a really good guy to know if you have a problem like you did!

That's excellent for you Don, however, the issue still remains for the next guy. Who's next for a $1000 fine because of a minor or unintended infraction? THAT is the issue that still needs to be addressed.

Blatant or flagerant cheating is one thing, as previously mentioned, but what about minor stuff which would normally give you a set "vacation from racing"?

Fines are just testing the waters, to see who will accept, once accepted as "just the way it is" then watch out for the threads on here about "they just bumped minimum fines to $2000" or "fines will now be imposed for improperly numbered pit bikes, must have comp number BEFORE class or a $200 fine"

Wait for it....they always won't be so "forgiving" once it's accepted as standard practice.

Edit; and yes, I fully support the Tech crews and in no way judge them in this, this is solely on the heads at the top.
