Burnouts in the Indy Pits

Bryan Worner · 09-16-2020, 05:55 PM

So why are there three separate racers with action taken against them by NHRA for doing a burnout in the pits, but only one (McCue) disqualified and fined, while the other two (Lane and Tasca) were only fined??????

Well, since no one is talking, ...I guess we will never know.....The rest of the story....

Bryan, I asked the same ? about a week ago in"The Lounge". No replies. I was hoping someone at Indy would have some insight. I don't believe it's 3 separate incidents. Sounds like it could be some type of team punishment..

They must have had the lights on in the "Electric car". Dead give a way. Never mind that cloud of tire smoke.

Cause it’s NHRA what else could it be?

The first time trial didnt work out to good doing a burnout. The team went on the road going into the track. Fixed what was wrong and did a good burn out. No one was around except I was in a golf cart watching. Didnt seem like a big deal. They were just fixing the car

some rules only apply to some people some of the time... and that is a fact. ;-)

That sounds good until there is an accident. Then you guys would be calling out the NHRA for allowing stuff like that......
