Excessive Braking in Super Stock

A note of Clarification:

My name is John Irving = A 70ish slightly plump Senior Citizen.

I post quite regularly on this site as I am sure everybody is aware.

My son is Jon Irving = A 20 something young man.

He very seldom if every posts anything on this site.

The statements that I post here are strictly and only my
own personal opinions and impressions.

They are assuredly NOT those of my sons or our crew ......
certainly it is patently unfair to assail them for my statements
however much you may disagree or dislike me (Or probably Both).

That being said:

My son immediate upon exiting the track took responsibility
for his bad judgement and terrible display of lack of driving skill.
Indeed, he fully expected to be thrown out of the race and would
have accepted that without any further discussion!

We are grateful to NHRA for the warning and understand that there
will be no further warning given to him this year.

I can only speculate that the consideration that he races a dozen
Divisional and National races for the last 10 years without a single
incident or issue (500 plus passes) = may have influenced NHRA's
decision on how to handle the incident.

I also immediately communicated to him my disappointment with the
situation ......He does fully understand further issues may mean that
we may park our team for a period of time.

He further apologized to the Torres Team for his actions.
