If I remember correctly, the first time it's a $250 fine, the second time it's a $500 fine, and the third time it's disqualification from the event...you also lose 5 points, 10 points, and 15 points respectively for the infractions, so if you oiled the track 3 times at an event you would be out of competition, out $750 in fines, and take a 30 point hit.
But, quite frankly, I don't think anybody really cares about the 30 point hit, and if you oiled the track 3 times you'd most likely be eliminated from competition anyway (your competitor would have probably done it for you rather than NHRA). The $750 in fines sting though, especially since you're having mechanical problems at the same time.
