I heard at the track today that he IS paying for it.

I hope that is not the case. How can you make a racer pay for that ?

OLD INJUN · 02-05-2009, 09:21 PM

The guy that took it down at t.v.d. Is still paying the track manager. LoL

If they told me I had to pay for it after tearing up my stuff, then that would probably be my last time racing with NHRA.

I thought they had insurance for these types of things.

Do the pros have to pay for the cones they take out, or all of the fire extinguishers used putting out their fires?

Brandon Peterson · 02-05-2009, 10:10 PM

c'mon lee they don't even have to pay to race anymore....they would have to beat the money out of me to pay for a tree after something like that....little guys 1 NHRA 0
