Brad, I don't think anyone really believes you were light or had bad fuel. They just think NHRA was completely wrong for not checking the winners. After all the praising of sportsman racing done at Indy by the higher ups all week long, the decision to parade the winners in front of the fans should not have taken precedence over standard tech procedures. In other words...the "show" meant more to NHRA than verifying that the winners were legal.

A bunch of years ago, I was involved in a race where the person, may he RIP, won a round and I lost. We WERE doing scale and fuel check and he BYPASSED BOTH. I sat and waited til the end of the line and PASSED scale and Fuel check.

I was NOT reinstated after this other racers failure to comply with the rules, nor did the racer return AFTER driving right by the other 20 or so racers in line.

An hour later the race was rained out.

First off...Congratulations to Brad on your win

Now we can talk about the problem at hand.......

NHRA is the problem and not the racers, they did their job and NHRA did not do their job.........

NHRA has lost its compass since the passing of Wally Parks...

NHRA is not dedicated to safety or performance....

NHRA spends its resources by ejecting paying customers/participants from the stating lanes for taking photos that would ultimately benefit NHRA...

NHRA just doesn't care about or understand the people who have supported them for decades..

NHRA is the best game in town, but they are doing their best to commit suicide...

NHRA doesn’t have a plan for sportsman racers; they just use us to accommodate the PRO show....

NHRA will run out of PRO's, even FORD said by their actions that the PRO's are history...

NHRA might reinstate the status of sportsman after the PRO's are gone....

NHRA might have to restructure themselves into a sportsman friendly business...

NHRA is a business.....

NHRA should just throw out the Race Procedures Manual & Rule Book...

NHRA is becoming a caricature of itself...

Just my opinion, for what it’s worth,
Bob

Brad did you really have Nitrous in the tires? Seriously, congratulation on your win. Winning the U.S. National at Indy will always be with you. Would you say that attending the Foot Brake race help? Claude Ruel
