In my opinion, for a minor infraction you should be given an option to pay a fine or suspension. In that situation, if the fine isn't paid the suspension must be served. After the suspension period is over, the racer would be allowed to race again upon inspection.

Re: NHRA Levied Actions Against Don Davidson
 

That might be the answer to what they are thinking. If a racer gets suspended then he will not be spending money on entry fees for a certain amount of time. If he pays a fine he will get to continue racing and paying entry fees. Sounds like something one of the bean counters would come up with.

Re: NHRA Levied Actions Against Don Davidson
 

Did NHRA talk a poll to see if people would rather pay a fine instead of getting suspended?
If so I missed that one.

Is it possible the cam was cut for stock stamped rockers and he had a true 1.5 roller rocker on it? I don't know. But we ALL should first contact our reps and protest NHRA's blatant attempt to raise revenue, since the car count is not rising etc. I for on am. I have never met this man but I know that mistakes do happen (I mean the non blatant one's). It could have very well happened to me, fail fuel check (pay a fine before you continue), fail weight check (pay a fine before you continue), etc. Lose first rd., pay a buy back and continue on with racing etc.....Ok the last one was a stretch.

Re: NHRA Levied Actions Against Don Davidson
 

LOL but maybe its not such a stretch. Get tossed out in teardown, pay the fine and race next week. The new Stock/SS buy back.

I was thinking the same thing! It's a win/win for NHRA. Watch for more and more infractions. Before long each tech guy will have to have a minimum amount of tech infractions like some police departments. It's called "assured income". Jim

When I got tossed out and fined for some stupid crap that's when this ole boy takes his sack of marbles and goes to the house BYE BYE!

Re: NHRA Levied Actions Against Don Davidson
 

times two jeff.the man has allready lost work entry and fuel etc!! He has spent over one thow just to go to that race.

Re: NHRA Levied Actions Against Don Davidson
 

Bingo! For what it costs us vs. what we can earn, NHRA should be thankful that we show up! A very smart man once said to me," For what it costs me to be here, I could be on a beach with my wife for a week!".
