Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser

Years ago NHRA tech measured pulley sizes in the alcohol classes with a piece of blower belt numbering the teeth like a ruler as an easy check for pulley teeth. This clearly would've called out the cheating as the space between the pulley teeth would've been counted. The problem was they were allowed to cover the pulleys as if and when the belt breaks it can take out a harness. This should've never been allowed and overdrive checked with a simple system belt ruler as tech has done in the past. Keep it simple.

Fines don't seem to hinder cheating, suspensions non-existent here. Since self tech was used, How about self enforcement from their competitors. Or self tech your competitor, like in grade school when you passed your test to your neighbor to grade. Sad to see NHRA tech come to this and yes I blame them for either never checking or turning an eye. A year and a half..... Damn!

I found this paragraph particularly amusing:

Those with inside knowledge of how
the NHRA handled the situation say it's part of a new policy aimed at fixing an issue before it becomes a larger one. For instance, if a racer is deemed to have a blatant violation in the inspection, NHRA will give them a chance to right the wrong, but there could be ramifications.

At NHRA events NHRA a certified spec pulley(s) should be handed to the FX racers and documented.

The lone HEMI is bye-bye for greener pasture$. Deja' Vu much?!

All this hoopla from guys that don't race the class about nothing. They will change the pulley and continue to race and WIN!

Perhaps it’s time for some personal reflection about that comment Ed?

I've reflected and my opinions here are no less valid than anyone else that posts here! There is no requirement to compete in Stock nor Super Stock to post in this forum. Further, this thread isn't about Stock nor Super Stock!!

With that being said, violators should be either tarred and feathered or off to the gallows.
A couple of stern repremands or a hanging or two will fix the problem quickly. Racers take heed!

The NHRA hasn’t been that sanctioning body in decades and our society hasn’t either for about 20 years.
