NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY

ok I "think" that the sportsman brings more money to NHRA. The membership fees, the entry fees, the advertising by manufacturers that cater to the sportsmen who buy the parts, etc., and I suspect just maybe now NHRA gets paid for TV rights, as well as if there were no sportsmen in the pits. They would look like nothing is happening for the"event" or 'Show." The fans would walk around and say where are all the race cars? Could you get my point now? I just bet if we ask the NHRA accountants about the sportsman impact that they bring approximately 3 million per year, they would be happy to receive the income

I remember in Topeka one year the tech guys were checking fuel cell temps because several were dropping dry ice in their fuel cells.

Is there a specific rule against that?
Asking because I really don't know...

In one sentence it says (i.e., cool cans, Freon, wet rags, etc.) prohibited...
Then it appears to say permitted in the next...
Nothing like clarity...

So I guess you can't insulate your fuel cell either...

Idle mind is the workshop of the devil...

Never suggested there should be no "Pro" cars, but do they have to be right next to the staging lanes, considering that they are all towed up to the staging lanes, and towed back to the pits? Does it really matter where the Pros park? The hero card and autograph collecting spectators will go to wherever the pros park.

So let me get this straight,if your wife?s battery goes dead in the staging lanes at Sonoma you wouldn?t be able to charge her battery for her. Paula ! Mike?s gonna need a hall pass on this one 😂🤣
